"the voice of applied microbiology"
Grants

Want to attend one of our meetings, visit a laboratory overseas, arrange for a student to gain some work experience in your laboratory or organise a one-day meeting in your region? Can't find the money to support this worthwhile venture? Then apply for a SfAM grant. SfAM have an extensive range of grants and awards available to all full ordinary and full student members for these and additional activities relating to the greater understanding of applied microbiology.

Even if you are not personally eligible, perhaps you have a colleague who could be a potential recipient? These sources of funding are intended to help microbiologists not only to further their own career, but also to make advances in applied microbiology. We look forward to receiving your nominations and applications. Members outside the UK in particular are invited to take advantage of these sources of funding.
