British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Only members of BAOMS can receive grants from the Association, so non-members should not apply, and members submit online through the members' area after logging in.
- Giving is modest: the annual report shows £11,737 awarded, and the mini grants are up to £1,600 for travel, £1,000 for projects and £150 for events, so a small, specific request fits best.
- Research and Major Travel Grant applications are due by 1 August and 14 January, and applications above £10,000 receive formal peer review from two independent reviewers.
- Several prizes are limited to particular roles, such as trainees, Fellows or Associate Fellows, so check the eligibility for any prize before applying.
