If you are an early career researcher, normally within 12 years of graduating, or are employed in a support role in microscopy or cytometry then these are for you.

RMS Virtual Bursaries

The same eligibility criteria applies as with a standard travel bursary, however the application is made to help towards the costs of registration fees to attend virtual conferences where you are presenting, rather than the costs of travelling to them.

Public Engagement and Outreach Bursaries

It is recognised that many RMS Members are engaged in outreach activities where some external funding would help with those little extras, such as consumables, refreshments etc.  Council has set aside a special bursary fund for this specific purpose of up to £100 per application.
