ASM is excited to announce our new Science Festival Grants program! We’re offering ASM members the chance to apply for up to $500 to be used towards an activity at your local science festival in 2022. This is a great way to bring microbiology out of the lab and engage with your community.

For this initial round of grants, we are limiting participation to members and festivals located in the United States and Canada taking place during 2022. As with everything, festival programming is up in the air due to COVID-19, so we understand the need to be flexible.

Want to see if there’s a festival happening in your area? Need help coming up with an activity? Check out the Science Festival Alliance website for resources and festival information.

Applications will be accepted until March 15, 2022, so submit yours today! Questions? Contact Geoff Hunt, ASM's Public Outreach Program Officer.
