BSPP Plant Pathology Promotion Fund

The British Society for Plant Pathology has established a fund for the Promotion of Plant Pathology to promote understanding and awareness of the importance of Plant Pathology to a wider audience than its membership. Applications for grants of up to a maximum of £2000 will be considered for projects that stimulate interest in, and knowledge and awareness of, Plant Pathology to people who do not normally come into contact with the subject. The projects can be parts of larger efforts for the promotion of the public understanding of science but should specifically address the role, function and activities of Plant Pathology. It is anticipated that central to any proposal will be the generation of resources, posters, or displays. Where possible and appropriate, such resources should be made available to other members of the BSPP for similar promotional purposes. Routes to implementation and the context in which the resources will be used should be made clear. Links with other professionals and organisations are encouraged. A report to the Board and an article for the Newsletter on the activities funded is a condition of awarding a grant.
