publishing for the community

we are a 2022世界杯对阵分析 charity and a not-for-profit publisher. submissions to our titles support the community, ensuring that we continue to provide grants, events and professional development for microbiologists at all career stages.

please consider publishing with us so that we can support more members to benefit from the experience. just one article published with us generates the revenue to give grants to four early career members to attend annual conference or seven early career members to attend a focused meeting.

if you are new to publishing and would like to find out more, visit our publishing fundamentals resources.

administration of awards

applicants should expect to receive notification of the outcome of their application approximately six weeks after the closing date.

applicants will be notified of an awarded grant via email. please note that as funds are limited and the society endeavours to support as many applicants as possible, we may not always be able to fund the full amount requested.

the grant award will be displayed on the mi society account under ‘grant history’. claims must be made within three months of the funded event and must be substantiated by itemised receipts. awards not claimed within this time will automatically be withdrawn by the society.

awarded funds will be paid to the applicant’s nominated account by bank transfer within one month of an award claim being made. please note that if incorrect details are provided and we need to contact you for further information, payment will take longer to reach your account.

please read all information on this page carefully and ensure you have read and agreed to the grants terms and conditions before submitting an application.
