The Symington Bequest

Deadlines for receipt of applications

Funding deadline information here. Applications are to be received 2 weeks prior to the Council meeting.

The Anatomical society Prizes and wards Committee and Council will not make an award if the dates of the conference/course/lab visit/equipment usage are retrospective from the date that the Committee and Council meet, normally 2 weeks after the closing deadline (dates published on the Society's website above).

NOTE: Please send in the acceptance of your abstract from the conference organisers if you already have it or, later, once you receive it. Do not wait for abstract approval/acceptance before applying for the award as all that is needed at the application stage is proof that the abstract has been submitted. Any award made/monies paid will, however, be conditional to abstract acceptance.

Background

The Trustees of the Symington Bequest Fund can make grants to Society Members towards costs associated with anatomical research. These may be for specific purposes - for example the setting up of the Human Embryo Database developed out of initial grants from the Symington Fund - or more commonly for a contribution to the costs associated with presenting and participating in scientific meetings. 

Eligibility

Applicants must be members who have been elected to membership by Council for at least a year by the application deadline date. Applicants annual membership subscriptions must also be up to date. Applicants are only eligible to apply for one Symington Award in any one financial year (1st October to 30th September).

Rounds 

6 rounds per year, deadline is 2 weeks prior to Council meeting.
