Funding for larger projects
The Biochemical Society supports public engagement and outreach activities that communicate the excitement of molecular bioscience to young people and the community.
The types of activities that could be funded with up to £5000 of grant funding 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.
This is not an exhaustive list! We would love to hear about new ideas and approaches to public engagement and outreach.
Explore the projects we have funded up to £1000 or visit the Royal Society of Chemistry's Outreach Fund to find examples of projects using funding up to £5000.
Please note that there must be a minimum of 6 weeks between the application deadline and the date of the event/activity. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the full application guidance and general conditions before submitting an application.
