Grants, Prizes and Awards
The Society for Endocrinology is pleased to announce a greatly extended
range of grants, prizes and awards. These new incentives have been
made available as a result of the latest strategic review. The
Society is in a position to expand its grants substantially thanks
largely to the funds generated in recent years by its trading company
BioScientifica
Ltd.
The Society's strategic review addressed various issues connected with
attracting good scientists, doctors and nurses into endocrinology and
supporting them throughout their early career. Most of the new grants
are intended to achieve this objective.
Most of the new grants will be flexible to allow members to make the
fullest use of them. An example is the Small Grants Programme, which
provides grants of up to £10,000 to members for a very wide range
of uses, from new equipment to finalising a project.
Several of the prizes, for example the Undergraduate Essay Prize, are
intended to focus the attention of budding scientists and clinicians
on endocrinology, both to ensure they learn something about the project
during their studies, and to encourage them to consider specialising
in endocrinology.
