The Biochemical Society has reopened its Scientific Outreach grants programme to support public engagement and outreach activities in molecular biosciences.
Individuals, groups, and organisations can apply for grants to fund a variety of activities across the UK.
Two tiers of funding are available:
Up to £1,000 is available for one-off, smaller events which can include:
- re-using established activities/resources in a new context or with a new perspective
- development of a new activity or resource for participants
- inspiring workshops or lectures for students, teachers or communities
- development of online content or activities that could be used to engage communities
- community-led activities based on your research interests
Up to £2,500 is available for repeat, scalable and sustainable events which can include:
- development of a new activity or resource for groups of participants for sustained use
- series of far-reaching activities for students, teachers or communities beyond your institution that involve continued engagement with participants
- development of a new or expansion of an established engagement event, such as a science or community festival
- sustained community-led activities or engagement based on your research interests that will continue to engage the desired communities or groups
Collaborations between organisations, such as schools, universities, businesses, community centres, and science and discovery centres are encouraged.
Applicants do not need to be members of the Biochemical Society.
The application deadline is the 6th October 2025. Applications should be submitted at least 6 weeks before the proposed event/activity.
