Mentor agreement and project description	
Potential mentors and related projects are listed in: https://www.agri.gov.il/en/pages/1743.aspx

Please select a mentor and contact him personally to discuss the possibility to join his research group on a specific project. If the outcome is positive, you should ask the mentor to provide you with a letter of agreement regarding his willingness to host you in his lab and to contribute to your fellowship. Please attach the mentor’s letter of agreement to your submission (PDF file).
Please describe also succinctly your contribution to the project you are joining during your stay in the mentor’s lab.
The mentor’s agreement to host you does not mean that you have been accepted to the program. All the valid submissions will be evaluated by a committee that will consider the scientific merit of each submission file. Final decisions will be issued to the best candidates depending on the number of available fellowships every year.

Please note that: 
You can apply only once and only with one mentor.
Mentors can support only one application and can deliver only one letter of agreement.
Multiple applications will not be considered.
Applications without the mentor agreement letter will not be accepted.
