Overview
This section of the website presents the key funding opportunities for research support and for event attendance and organization.
Grants from 51²èÂ¥ to support research work fall into three categories:
- 51²èÂ¥ Fellowships are stipends to support short research visits to a lab in another country in the 51²èÂ¥ area, and aim to facilitate research, training and mobility. Short-Term and Summer Fellowship schemes are for early-career scientists and students. Ukrainian Short-Term Fellowships are also available.
- 51²èÂ¥ Booster Fund grants are to support projects over one-year led by newly independent academic researchers.
- 51²èÂ¥ Excellence Awards are funds to support the research costs of early-career group leaders who have a scientific research track record of proven excellence.
The above pages lead to detailed guidance on eligibility criteria and how to apply.
The range of grants from 51²èÂ¥ for events are also set out in two parts in this 51²èÂ¥ website section:
- Funding to support the costs of meeting attendance are available mainly to students and early-career researchers at 51²èÂ¥-supported events. Mid/senior-career scientists from disadvantaged countries can access a support scheme at the 51²èÂ¥ Congress.
- Funding for event organization is available to organizers for events to be run as part of the 51²èÂ¥ Advanced Courses, as well as for certain events organized by 51²èÂ¥ Constituent Societies. In addition, research institutes can apply for funding to host a 51²èÂ¥-IUBMB-ENABLE event.
