General Travel Grants
Members can participate in scientific conferences, training courses, or lab visits to learn new techniques with our General Travel Grants.
Available to Postgraduate, Early Career, Full, and Emeritus members, we provide grants of generally between £300 and £500 to assist with the cost of face-to-face attendance.
The maximum of £750 may be awarded for exceptional and well-supported cases where the benefit to the applicant's career is great and where there is a financial need for the maximum grant amount.
Are you looking for funding towards an online event? Check out our new Online Attendance Grants!
Please note that a successful General Travel Grant application would not affect your eligibility to apply for an Online Attendance Grant, provided you do not exceed a maximum of £750 in total funding within a 2-year period.

Important note: Predatory conferences
Presenting your work at a conference is an excellent way to share your research and raise your profile in the scientific community. But there is a growing problem to look out for – predatory conferences. Much like predatory journals, predatory conferences seek to charge high registration fees while offering little value in return for attendees and presenters.
The Biochemical Society will only consider member grant applications for the organization or attendance of meetings believed to be genuine.
Some tips on how to distinguish a predatory conference from a genuine one can be found here:
