When can I expect to hear the outcome of my application?

All grants and scholarships vary in the time taken for review, depending on their complexity. The table below provides an approximate guide to the timeframe from submission (or deadline, if the grant you're applying for has one) to notification of the outcome.

I received a grant previously. When can I next apply for the same grant?

Some of our grants have restrictions on how frequently they can be received.

Travel Scholarships (Travel,听Student Elective听补苍诲听ASM)

From 2020, individuals can apply for up to 拢1,000 through these grant categories over a three-year period. It could comprise one claim of 拢1,000 or multiple claims that add up to 拢1,000 (e.g., 拢400 for a 2020 ASM Scholarship and 拢600 for a 2021 Travel Scholarship). This restriction ensures that those requesting small amounts have access to the same funding pool as those claiming the maximum amounts.

If you are uncertain about how much funding you have received in the last three calendar years, please email us at聽[email protected].

Early Stage Research,听Visiting Fellow

Members will be eligible for a maximum of one Early-Stage Research Start-up Grant and one Visiting Fellow Scholarship.
