Are you planning an event for Biomedical Science Day?

You may be eligible for a grant of up to £500 through the Biomedical Science Day Activity Fund that supports creative and engaging activities to raise public awareness of biomedical science and highlight its vital role in preventing, diagnosing and treating disease.

What the fund can support

Grants can be used for a wide range of activities and resources, including:

  • Experiments and demonstrations
  • Careers fair or exhibition space
  • Marketing materials, posters and signage
  • Incentives, giveaways and educational resources

We understand not everyone can take part on the day itself, so the fund can be used for activities taking place up until 30 September 2025.
