Educational Research and Development Grant 2026
Who can apply: SEB members can apply for grants of up to £2000; non-members can apply for grants of up to £200.
Deadline: By 30 June and by 31 January
The Society For Experimental Biology primarily supports member-led scientific events rather than large research grants, with a clear emphasis on experimental biology and community-building. Its sponsorships are aimed at small in-person and virtual conferences, webinars, and satellite meetings that advance animal biology, plant biology, cell biology, and outreach/education/diversity goals. The funder appears especially interested in helping researchers convene, share findings, and strengthen the experimental biology community internationally.
Small, targeted sponsorships for events and conferences; typically up to £1,000 for in-person events and up to £500 for virtual events. Support is available through two annual deadlines for sponsorship requests, with satellite meeting funding tied to SEB Annual Conference programming and generally member-led proposals.
Applications are for SEB members organizing eligible scientific events. Plan ahead for the two yearly deadlines (1 March and 1 November), and make sure the request is for direct event costs; for satellite meetings, proposals should be aligned with the SEB Annual Conference schedule.
