Statistics
Since its inception in 2013, the NSF-BSF partnership has rapidly expanded and it currently comprises of the core programs in nearly all NSF Divisions and in a number of interdisciplinary programs that cut across NSF Directorates.
Below is a table summarizing the statistics of the various NSF-BSF programs with respect to the number of proposal submissions (preproposals were excluded) and their success rates. Over the years, the success rate of joint US-Israel applications was often higher than that of proposals by individual US investigators.
