Research/Project Grants

Microbiology Society International Development Fund

The Society aims to assist microbiologists in countries with low-income or lower-middle-income economies (as defined by the World Bank) through the International Development Fund

Support (travel and accommodation) for visits by members of the Society to laboratories in countries where microbiology is inadequately developed but where its further development may assist education or the economy of these countries. The purpose of the visits must be to give short lecture courses and laboratory training in subjects designed to meet the needs of these countries. Host institutions are expected to provide some evidence of local support for the courses.

Purchase of consumables or small pieces of equipment, which are essential for the needs of such training courses.
Support for national microbiological facilities, e.g. culture collections (which underpin microbiology), where these run into temporary difficulties.
Other small projects to assist in technology transfer from countries with upper-middle- and high-income economies to countries with lower-middle or low-income economies for which other sources of funding do not exist.
This might include provision of small pieces of equipment to a nominated centre at which a member is working permanently or payment for temporary local technical assistance for a one-off purpose.
