Biomedical Ethics in Developing Countries Project-Scoping Travel Grants

We will not accept applications from individuals seeking support for travel to attend conferences or meetings.
The purpose of this scheme is to enable biomedical ethics researchers based in developing or restructuring countries to meet with prospective collaborators within their own country or another country to discuss ideas for biomedical ethics research collaborations.
Please read under the Eligibility tab for further information about this scheme and who is eligible to apply.

The maximum award under this scheme is £1000.
The grant provides a contribution towards travelling expenses and, in some cases, subsistence expenses at approved rates.
Individual researchers are limited to no more than two awards with a minimum of 12 months between the first visit and the second.
Successful applicants must make their own travel and visa arrangements.
