The BCMM provides trainees and research staff 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)

Deadlines: Applications are reviewed four times a year (January, April, August, November). Here are the upcoming deadlines:

Awards will be announced 15 days after the deadline. Funds will be provided as a reimbursement after the training is completed.
List of potential trainings: In addition to funding, the BCMM tries to capture a list of events, trainings, and on demand content to serve as a resource to our trainees and larger community. View the list.
