Research/Project Grants

Microbiology Society International Development Fund

The Society aims to assist microbiologists in countries with low-income or lower-middle-income economies (as defined by the World Bank) through the International Development Fund

Support (travel and accommodation) for visits by members of the Society to laboratories in countries where microbiology is inadequately developed but where its further development may assist education or the economy of these countries. The purpose of the visits must be to give short lecture courses and laboratory training in subjects designed to meet the needs of these countries. Host institutions are expected to provide some evidence of local support for the courses.

  1. Purchase of consumables or small pieces of equipment, which are essential for the needs of such training courses.
  2. Support for national microbiological facilities, e.g. culture collections (which underpin microbiology), where these run into temporary difficulties.
  3. Other small projects to assist in technology transfer from countries with upper-middle- and high-income economies to countries with lower-middle or low-income economies for which other sources of funding do not exist. 
  4. This might include provision of small pieces of equipment to a nominated centre at which a member is working permanently or payment for temporary local technical assistance for a one-off purpose.
Wellcome Early-Career Awards

This scheme provides funding for early-career researchers from any discipline who are ready to develop their research identity. Through innovative projects, they will deliver shifts in understanding that could improve human life, health and wellbeing. By the end of the award, they will be ready to lead their own independent research programme. 

Bioimaging Technology Development Awards
This award will fund teams of technology developers and users to create novel bioimaging tools at the cell-tissue scale. Successful teams will develop technologies that answer ambitious research questions or that overcome barriers to bioimaging work in low-resource settings.
Biochemical Society Lab Visit Grants
Foster collaboration and develop essential biochemistry techniques with our brand new Lab Visit Grants! Available to Postgraduate, Early Career, Full and Emeritus members, these grants support laboratory visits within the UK or overseas to undertake training, educate partners on new advances, or analyse results.
Offered as an expansion of our General Travel Grants scheme, we are now offering funding of up to £2,000 to contribute towards travel and accommodation costs. Applications are welcomed for lower amounts of funding as well. 

 

Fellowships

Royal Society Wolfson Visiting Fellowship (For sabbatical leaves)
The Royal Society Wolfson Visiting Fellowships provide an opportunity for talented international research leaders to undertake a flexible 12 month period of sabbatical leave in a UK university or research institution, to foster international collaborative links and enrich scientific research in the host organisation as well as the wider UK science base.
The objectives of the Royal Society Wolfson Visiting Fellowships are to:
  1. enable UK universities and research institutions to attract outstanding international researchers in key strategic areas to the UK from overseas
  2. enable the Visiting Fellow and the host UK organisation to develop ongoing collaborative research links, share ideas and practice
  3. The fellowship can be held full time for one year or flexibly over two years.
The scheme covers all areas of the life and physical sciences, including engineering, but excluding clinical medicine.
The British Academy International Fellowships 2024
The overarching aim of the International Fellowships Programme is to attract and retain emerging talent in the UK and build a globally connected, mobile research and innovation workforce. The objectives are to:

Attract talented international early career researchers to establish and conduct their research in the UK;
  1. Support early career researchers to pursue high-quality and innovative lines of research;
  2. Provide opportunities to acquire and transfer new skills and knowledge through training and career development;
