Applications are accepted for proposals that fulfil the following criteria:

• Funding is for conferences or training programmes (other proposals can be submitted by ECRs through the Flexible Funding scheme)
• Research fitting the remit of the BSI i.e. fundamental, interdisciplinary research at the boundaries between biosciences and the other physical sciences (including mathematics, computer science and engineering).
