A government research grant program, known as the "Parallel Track," has allocated over 80% of its budget to Ariel University. In 2024 and 2025, a total of 39,982,093 shekels were designated for this program, with Ariel University receiving the majority, amounting to 32,261,294 shekels. The program is intended for researchers at institutions ineligible for funding through standard international research and cooperation programs due to their geographic location. In Israel, only three institutions fall into this category: Ariel University, the Eastern Regional Research Institute, and the Shamir Research Institute in Katzrin. Research proposals submitted through this parallel track are accepted at a significantly higher rate compared to those submitted through other Ministry of Science research programs.
