Society Awards are for amounts over £30 000, for a maximum of three years.

Society Awards are for ambitious and creative projects that engage people with developments in biomedical science on a regional or national scale.

The aim is to encourage people of all ages and walks of life to learn about these developments and have an opportunity to consider, question and debate the implications and issues arising from such work. By inspiring, informing and involving whole communities, Society Awards enable people to consider and discuss issues that affect them, those close to them and the world in which they live.

Projects should aim to achieve at least one of the following:

-stimulate interest, excitement and debate about biomedical science through various methods
-examine the social, cultural, historical and ethical impact of biomedical science
-encourage new ways of thinking about biomedical science.

If your proposed project has an artistic dimension, please also refer to our Arts Awards.
