Key takeaways

This funder fits a small nonprofit only if its work is allergy education and training, which is the one theme its grants are stated to cover.
Its bursaries are small, and the one single-programme figure given is up to £3,000, so a modest request is the realistic size.
The society's stated method is invitation only and it does not accept unsolicited requests, so contact it first rather than sending a cold application, and its primary-care bursary is open only to BSACI members who want to organise an allergy training day for primary-care workers.
Its medical scholarships do not fund FY2 doctors, Clinical Fellows or IMT trainees in the UK, so do not apply for them if you are one of these, and do not apply for its travel fellowship unless you are a member whose abstract has been accepted at an overseas meeting.

The British Society for Allergy & Clinical Immunology is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, set up to advance and encourage the study of allergy and clinical immunology for the benefit of the public. It aims to support its members in providing a high quality, NHS based service for people with allergic disease and related disorders of the immune system.

What they fund

Priority Areas

BSACI’s grant-related support is for allergy education and training. Its bursaries support BSACI members who organise allergy training days for people working in primary care; the bursaries can support virtual meetings as well as other meetings. The annual report says affiliated allergy services received bursaries to deliver local primary-care training days across the UK. Individual schemes also support resident doctors exploring a career in adult allergy and clinical immunology, and people with accepted conference abstracts who may lack other funding to attend the BSACI Annual Conference. The society describes its broader aim as improving allergy management through education, training and research.
