Description
The Genetics Society’s Training Grant helps members access genetics-related training that will assist their research. It supports attendance at formal short training courses or collaborative visits to another laboratory to learn specific genetic or genomic techniques. The scheme is open to members across career stages, including undergraduate and graduate students, junior postdoctoral researchers, and principal or co-investigators, subject to membership and UK-related eligibility requirements.
Funding contributes to the practical costs of taking part in training, including travel, accommodation, subsistence, and registration or tuition fees. The focus is on acquiring research-relevant skills rather than undertaking fieldwork. Researchers looking for suitable training opportunities can consult the Society’s training courses page.
