The Society is dedicated to advancing microbiological science and supporting microbiologists in their pursuit of research and education in microbiology.
The grant program aims to encourage undergraduates to engage in microbiological research by providing them with funding to work on research projects during the summer vacation. The goal is to support the development of future scientists by offering practical research experience. Applications for the awards must be submitted by the project supervisor on behalf of a named student, emphasizing a collaborative approach to research and mentorship in the field of microbiology.
