Thank you for your interest in the Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Cyber 2022 Call for Proposals webinar. If you missed our event, below you’ll find information about the open Call for Proposals and next steps.
BIRD Cyber is a partnership between DHS S&T and the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD). The program has released the first Call for Proposals seeking collaborative projects between U.S. and Israeli entities to develop advanced cybersecurity applications for mission-critical homeland security needs. BIRD Cyber will provide grants of $1.5 million per project, funding up to 50 percent of the combined research and development budget.
The BIRD Cyber Call for Proposals seeks cooperative projects between two companies, or between a company and a university, or research institution—one from the U.S. and one from Israel—leading to demonstrations and pilot implementation of innovative technologies in one of the following areas:
- Secured architecture for protecting core operational processes
- Real-time risk assessment solutions for small-to-medium sized airports or seaports
- Resilience center pilots for small and medium sized businesses and enterprises
- Advanced data fusion and analytics
Proposals must include research and development cooperation to create innovative technologies that lead to commercialization.
Next Steps
Executive summaries are due on November 15, 2022, with decisions expected to be made in March 2023.
