Funding Available for Citizen Science Projects (UK)

The Royal Society of Biology has announced that its Outreach and Engagement Grant Scheme will open for applications from the 5th June 2025.

This round offers funding of up to £1,000 to support RSB members in engaging the public through citizen science projects.

These projects involve people collecting or analysing data—such as surveys on species sightings, animal behaviour, or plant growth—to answer specific ecological or environmental questions.

Applications are invited from:

  • Society members at Affiliate, Associate (AMRSB), Member (MRSB), or Fellow (FRSB) levels
  • Teachers who are members of the Royal Society of Biology, aiming to engage their students and local communities

Applicants should consider how they will recruit participants, collect and process data, and share their findings once the project is complete.

The Royal Society of Biology is also offering Regional Events Grants of up to £1,000 to help create inspiring events or activities that celebrate the biosciences and engage diverse audiences.

The application window closes on the 6th July 2025.
