Grant Program
In line with its mission, Bellberry is running a grant program in 2025 to support participant engagement at scientific meetings.
Conference organisers can apply to Bellberry for funding to create and/or enhance participant-centric programs to enable the participant voice to be represented and heard at their meetings with the ultimate aim of improving the research by embracing participant perspectives. Bellberry encourages conference organisers to be inclusive and innovative in their approach to creating and/or enhancing participant-centric programs.
To be eligible for funding, the applicant must be a company incorporated in Australia with an active Australian Business Number and be registered for Goods and Services Tax.
The competitiveness of an application depends on the extent to which:
• Participants are truly involved in the scientific meeting program.
• Learnings from the participant-centric program will be disseminated to the public and used to improve the quality of research.
Applicants can apply for a minimum amount of $1,000 and up to a maximum of $20,000 (ex GST) for a participant-centric program as part of their scientific meetings. The deadline for applications is 8 April 2025, for which reviews will be completed by 30 April 2025.
Completed applications should be submitted by the deadline to [email protected].
