Each year, ICA receives about 120 new research proposals from which the Association selects 40 new fellowships that are awarded to researchers and doctors from all the research and medical authorities in Israel.
Israel's finest research scientists who serve on the ICA Research Committee appoint at least 2 external reviewers who examine and assess each and every grant application according to its importance, standards of excellence, originality, relevance to promoting cancer research in Israel and worldwide, and the research scientist's ability to conduct the research. The grant for the first year ranges from US$ 22,000 - US$ 52,000 with the option to extend for an additional year.
After grading all proposals, the committee members decide on the exact amount, according to the needs of the research, the rating awarded to the proposal etc. To enable research scientists to start performing their research, ICA transfers the grant to the research scientist from its general budget, and meanwhile seeks sources of funding for those research studies deemed worthy of funding. A list of approved research projects appears each year in the ICA Annual Report in Hebrew and in English, crediting the donor.
According to an agreement ICA has obtained, the institutions cannot offset their overhead costs against budgets received from ICA.
