·       Bio-sensors for space research

·       Nano-materials and coatings for space applications

·       Electric power resources and solutions for space applications

·       Bio-sensors for space research

·       Microgravity research related to human life sciences

·       Nano-electronics, flex-electronics and low power electronics

·       Micro and nano-robotics technologies

·       Other aerospace related research project

A budget of up to $2,000,000.00 USD annually, has been jointly allocated by the State of Israel and the State of Florida to provide grants for eligible R&D Projects. Successful companies will receive funding directly from their country according to its regulations and procedures: Israeli companies from the Office of the Chief Scientist “OCS” in the Israel Ministry of Economy and Florida companies from Space Florida.
