BSRA Small Research Grants (SRGs)

Who is eligible: BSRA members who are based at an eligible UK institution and conducting research related to the biology of ageing.

What is funded: SRGs provide an opportunity for an early career researcher to enable research where the resources, equipment and infrastructure are already in place to support the intended activities. This might also include costs to support ongoing research including publication costs, outreach and public engagement, laboratory consumables, collaborative meetings, training, and laboratory exchanges to support career development that would have otherwise not been possible. Funds cannot be used to pay for staff salaries or research overheads.

Success rate in 2026: 75% (Note: the number of grants awarded each year varies as subject to funding.)
