The Alan Robertson Fund
Updated 3 February 2011
An award aimed at those interested in animal genetics, aimed at allowing people to attend meetings and undertake study tours or projects, it can also be used to bring animal geneticists to UK meetings. Applications should reflect areas of current or future interest that will advance research and education in the application of genetics to livestock production. Around £1400 is available annually, although a proportion of these monies may be held over to allow more funding to be available in years when the World Congress in Genetics Applied Livestock Production, to fund attendance of that conference. This scholarship is open to both members and non-members of BSAS.
Date for submissions: 31st October each year. In years when the WCGALP is being held (every four years, 2010, 2014…) an additional application period will be added as notified by the society.
