The BCMM provides trainees up to $1,000 to attend a microbiome-focused workshop or other training opportunity. Attendance to both virtual and in-person events will be considered. BCMM is particularly interested in facilitating training/education of those new to the field of microbiome research.
Eligibility: Applicants that meet the following will be prioritized for funding:
- Being a BCMM member (active or membership pending)
- Being part of a research lab/group for which microbiome research is not the primary focus
- Have at least one ongoing project for which microbiome research is a primary focus
Deadlines: Applications are reviewed three times a year (January, April, August). Here are the 2023 deadlines:
- January 26, 2023
- April 27, 2023
- August 24, 2023
Awards will be announced 15 days after the deadline. Funds will be provided as a reimbursement after the training is completed.
