Applicants should have been a member of the BSMB for at least 6 calendar months prior to the opening (first day) of the meeting
Any member of the BSMB may apply for this type of bursary, although preference will be given to non-tenured scientists at early stages of their career (ie PhD students and less than 6 years post-doc)
Applicants must participate (ideally together with 2 other bursary recipients) in producing the written report of the conference for posting on the BSMB website and publication in the International Journal of Experimental Pathology
Applications will only be considered if they are submitted on a current BSMB Bursary application form (BSMB meetings)
The application should be accompanied by a one page curriculum vitae. Applicants may use the enclosed pro-forma CV.
The 'Support statement' should be limited to a statement from your supervisor (if appropriate) that he/she is willing for you to attend the meeting and subsequently prepare a written report.
Applications should be sent to Ann Canfield, the committee member responsible for Bursaries.
The deadline for receipt of bursaries applications will be noted on the meeting information page. The applications will be reviewed rapidly by the Committee and applicants will be informed of the outcome in advance of the meeting registration deadline. Bursaries will be paid by the Society Treasurer once the report of the meeting has been received.
