Grant in the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation's "Transformative Science" program
Fifty-three pre-proposals were submitted to the first round of the newly announced 'Transformative Science' program of the BSF. The program seeks ideas that may revolutionize the fields they are in, or create new paradigms. Two of the applications were submitted by Nobel Laureates. A special scientific panel consisting of six senior scientists, three from each country, discussed the pre-proposals and approved 12 for full submission. These were written in a form that did not reveal the identities of the applicants, and were sent for external reviews to both experts in the specific topics, as well as scientists with broad understanding of the fields.
