Description
The Barclay-Smith Travelling Fund provides assistance for Anatomical Society members studying for a higher degree or in the early years of their careers to attend the Society’s Winter or Summer meetings. Run by the Anatomical Society and overseen by its Prizes and Awards Committee and Council, the fund supports meeting participation rather than standalone research projects.
Recent awards have supported attendance at Summer Meetings in Bristol, Oxford and Edinburgh, and Winter Meetings in Dublin, Chelmsford and at the University of Central Lancashire. The Society publishes recipient reports and, in some cases, photographs on the program page. Awards are considered in five application rounds each year.
