The Biochemical Society aims to advance the molecular and cellular biosciences, facilitating the sharing of expertise, supporting the advancement of biochemistry and molecular biology, and promoting their importance in the wider biological context.
The grant program focuses on supporting research in methodology, with a specific interest in cellular or bioanalytical work. It aims to fund projects that involve developing and applying new techniques, checking the application of known techniques in new circumstances, or conducting feasibility studies by new staff before applying to a major award-granting body. The program provides up to £4,000, which can be allocated between a student and consumables. Applicants are encouraged to mention any additional funding sought for the proposed work from other sources in their application.
