Overseas Schemes

The Society has funds from which it makes grants to members for specific purposes. Announcements of the rules, eligibility and closing dates are made regularly in Microbiology Today. Please consult the full rules before applying for a grant. Details may be obtained by clicking on the appropriate link below or by contacting the SGM Grants Office. All applications should be submitted to the Grants Office unless otherwise stated. Please note that the only SGM schemes that offer funding to postdoctoral researchers are the President's Fund (for contract researchers within first 3 years of post-doctoral appointment) and the International Research Grants (senior post-doctoral research fellows).
