Infectious Disease Futures and Infection Science Award
The Microbiology Society Infection Science Award is an exchange scheme that facilitates the most promising trainee and early career presenters from FIS to present at the Microbiology Society Annual Conference Infection Forum in an effort to improve the exchange of ideas and the career development of early career researchers and trainee scientists and doctors.
Eligibility
All self-defining early career and trainee presenters are eligible for the scheme. As a guide, the Microbiology Society’s ECM Forum considers you an early career microbiologist if you’re an undergraduate or postgraduate student, or within five years of appointment to your first position after your highest degree earned. However, if this doesn’t fit your situation and you consider yourself an early career researcher, you are welcome to join.
All presenters are welcome to enter the competition, regardless of membership of organising societies.
Selection of awardees
Eligible
entrants will be shortlisted and invited to deliver an oral presentation during
the Infectious Disease Futures session. A judging panel will attend the session to judge the shortlisted entrants and select the awardees for announcement in the weeks following FIS2021. The judges will focus on scientific content and communication and criteria related to the translation potential of research outlined in presentations.
Award amount
The awardees will be offered a fixed bursary to attend the Microbiology Society Annual Conference 2022 and invited to submit a short publication to Access Microbiology.
Entering the competition
To enter the competition, submit your abstract to the Infectious Disease Futures session and provide an additional statement about how the award will benefit your professional development.
