The Biochemical Society’s Diversity in Science Grants scheme is now open for applications! Grants of up to £500 are open to anyone from anywhere in the world who has a project that will support and address issues relating to inclusion and diversity in science.

The Biochemical Society is excited to hear from any individual or group with a project that will support and address issues relating to inclusion and diversity in science. You do not need to be a member of the Society to apply and you don’t need to be based in the UK; these grants are open to applicants from any country. Previous recipients of any of Biochemical Society’s grants are welcome to apply for funding from this scheme.

Funding Information
