Overview

The Conference Attendance Award supports Physiological Society members in attending and presenting at relevant conferences, with funding amounts varying by membership level: £100 for undergraduates, £250 for postgraduates, and £375 for full and fellow members. Applications for 2025 are open, with four deadlines each academic year. Expenses are reimbursed upon receipt submission, and awardees are encouraged to participate in Society events, including the Society dinner.

Conference Attendance Awards are intended primarily for the support of member engagement at our own meetings but where funding allows will also support attendance at Society‐sponsored events.
How much funding is available?
Fellow Members: £375
Please note, expenses are reimbursed upon provision of receipts, following attendance at the agreed meeting. If you cannot cover the upfront costs, you should explore all possible assistance options within your institution and other possible avenues.
What can the funding be used for?
Attend and present at a Physiological Society and/or Society-sponsored research or teaching conference (undergraduates should submit a poster on a relevant physiological topic).
If attending a Society meeting, the fee for conference registration will be deducted from your award and does not need to be claimed. It is expected that awardees will attend The Society dinner and should claim this back following the meeting, alongside any remaining funds that can be used to cover standard class travel and accommodation.
When can I apply?
The call for applications is open for 2025. There is four deadlines in each academic year and funds must be spent before the next academic year begins.
