Grants & Prizes

The Microbiology Society is a not-for-profit organisation. Funds received through our publication subscriptions, membership and other activities are used to support microbiology and microbiologists. As such, the Society has funds at its disposal from which it offers grants to members for specific purposes. The Society also awards a range of prizes in recognition of outstanding contributions and achievements in microbiology. Rules and eligibility for each prize can be found in the Prizes area.
