Description
The Society for Experimental Biology (SEB) supports educators and academics undertaking educational research to improve learning, teaching, and assessment in experimental biology. The grant also funds the development and dissemination of open-access teaching resources for higher education. It aims to improve the education of future experimental biologists through evidence-based learning while helping educators demonstrate teaching innovation, gain external funding experience, and develop educational research skills.
Transferability and impact across the SEB community are central requirements. Projects involving at least two institutions receive favourable consideration because their outputs can reach different educational contexts. Awardees receive training in qualitative and quantitative research methods and educational research ethics, alongside bespoke support to help produce publishable work.
