Applied Microbiology International (AMI) has opened its 2026 grants portfolio, offering a broad package of opportunities designed to support microbiologists at different career stages — from students and trainees to newly appointed professionals and established researchers.
AMI’s grants help members to advance scientific discovery, build skills, develop networks and participate in events, enabling strong connections across the applied microbiology community.
New for 2026: Community Outreach Grant
A key addition this year is the Community Outreach Grant, introduced for 2026 to support members leading activities that promote public engagement, education and community involvement in applied microbiology.
This grant aims to help microbiologists share their science beyond traditional academic settings — strengthening public understanding of microbiology and supporting community-focused impact.
How to apply
Members can browse the full list of current opportunities via AMI’s grants pages. Grant forms are available to logged-in members, and applications are reviewed by grant panels — so AMI encourages applicants to keep submissions clear and ensure all requested information is included.
