The deadline date for submission is October 31st, the year before the grant period. From two to six awards are made each year. Applications, as in the case of the American post-doctoral scholar program, are obtainable from the IIE, with the same deadline date for submission. Preference is given to scholars up to 35 years of age, who have not previously studied in the U.S. and to those who have completed their doctorate within the past two years. Grants are open to scholars and students in all fields.
Applications are available at the foundation's offices.
The foundation, together with United States Information Service Tel Aviv, offers limited financial support to participants in sessions of the Salzburg Seminars in Salzburg, Austria. Programs are announced and applicants are interviewed in the fall of each year. The foundation awards career development grants to Israeli universities to support three years of pre-tenure employment to outstanding young scholars in U.S. studies, history, literature, government and society. The grants are for a minimum period of six months and a maximum of twelve months. They are complementary to the short term awards offered by the United States Information Agency in its American research fellowship program.
