Last night, I received some great news regarding grants for research.
The Israel Science Founation (ISF) published the lists of those who were awarded research grants for the coming years – and it seems that members of our team hit the jackpot!
In addition the yours truly, who received a large 3 year grant to work on the Iron Age IIB finds from Safi, Steve Weiner was awarded a grant in his “other” field (biomineralization) and Elisabetta Boaretto was given a grant on the dating of the Natufian culture!
This is great news for all, since these grants serve as the basic funding for important aspects of all of our work, and without them, it is hard “to breathe”. Needless to say, additional funding is still required and we can but hope that additional grant requests that have been submitted will be met with similar success.
Without a doubt, the Safi team wins the prize for the most ISF grants awarded to the members of an archaeological team for 2010!
Way to go!!!

And, this will make great matching funding for my next grant app! Louise
