The Board of Governors of the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation approved grants totaling $5.5 million for five new projects between U.S. and Israeli companies. In addition to the grants from BIRD, the projects will leverage private-sector funding, resulting in a combined investment of $14 million across all projects. In addition to providing conditional grants of up to $1.5 million, the Foundation assists companies in identifying strategic partners and facilitating introductions.

The five newly approved projects bring the total number of BIRD-supported collaborations to over 1,100 during the Foundation’s 48 years of activity. To date, BIRD’s investment of more than $406 million in joint projects has helped generate direct and indirect revenues exceeding $10 billion.

The projects approved are: Accubeat (Jerusalem, Israel) and FieldLine Industries/Medical (Louisville, CO) to develop compact low-power, miniature atomic clocks and magnetometers using innovative quantum technology. An Israeli Company and Resolution Medical (Minneapolis, MN) to develop specialized catheters for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis. Mentaily Innovations (Or Yehuda, Israel) and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (Bethesda, MD) to advance an automated assessment to improve post-traumatic stress diagnosis (AI PTSD).
