Welcome to the RSC's Chemistry Biology Interface Division
 

The Chemistry Biology Interface Division (CBID) is open to all RSC members and provides a society wide grouping for RSC members working at the boundary between chemistry and biology. 

The Division aims to improve interdisciplinary research at the chemistry-biology interface, promote the importance of this area to the government and represent the interests of its affiliated RSC subject groups.

CBID activities include workshops (both topical and policy-orientated) and strategic reports. Workshops are ideal events to promote areas of research that are not so well established or where chemical scientists and biologists are not maximising opportunities to collaborate.

Small Grants and Travel Grants from CBID

The Chemistry Biology Interface Division is pleased to announce its small grants and travel grants scheme for Division members.

Small Grants:

CBID aims to support advances in research, develop networks within their community, foster the next generation of researchers and champion the importance of chemistry. One way in which our Divisions contribute to these areas is by giving small grants, typically between £500 and £2000, to support scientific activities by members.

Please click on the link above for more information.

Travel Grants for PhD Students and Post-doctoral researchers:

CBID is keen to support participation by PhD students and post-doctoral researchers in scientific conferences and workshops. Grants are available to cover domestic (up to £200), continental (up to £400) and intercontinental (up to £800) travel to meetings where applicants give oral or poster presentations.
