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 grants and awards offered by the Biochemical Society aim to support the molecular biosciences community by providing funding for events, projects, and career development. Specifically, the Sponsored Event Grants offer up to £500 to assist with organizing lectures or small events, including postgraduate research days. These grants support both in-person and virtual meetings, covering costs such as travel bursaries for students, travel and accommodation for keynote speakers, and consumables. Applications for events that are cross-institutional, regional, and student-focused are especially encouraged, although funds cannot be used for catering or venue costs.
