The awards aim to encourage people of all ages and from all walks of life to consider, question and debate the key issues of now and the future. We want people to be informed, inspired and involved.

People Awards support projects that aim to achieve at least one of the following:

* stimulate interest, excitement and debate about biomedical science through various methods
* support formal and informal learning about biomedical science
* reach new audiences not normally engaged with biomedical science, as well as continuing to target existing audiences
* examine the social, cultural, historical and ethical impact of biomedical science
* encourage new ways of thinking about biomedical science
* encourage high quality interdisciplinary practice and collaborative partnerships
* investigate and test new methods of engagement, participation and education.
