The SFBBM awards grants to its members who are up to date with their membership fees. They allow PhD students, post-docs, researchers, lecturers and engineers to participate in conferences with topics related to Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.These scholarships contribute to the reimbursement of expenses that correspond to the participation in a congress (registration, transportation, accommodation and catering). The amount of a grant is: €220 for France; €440 for Europe and North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia); €1,000 for the rest of Africa; €600 for the Near East (Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and Turkey); €800 for the Middle East; €1,200 for Asia; €1,600 for Oceania; €1,000 for North and Central America; and €1,200 for South America (except Argentina: €1,400). The grants are awarded after receipt of the certificate of attendance at the conference and a certificate on the honor of the recipient stating that the amount of the grant is exclusively dedicated to reimburse expenses related to the convention. Note that the director and the manager of the Unit will be informed by the SFBBM of the award of the grant and the amount thereof. The grants fall into two main categories: those reserved for candidates under 36 years of age and those reserved for candidates over 35 years of age. The age taken into account is that of the candidate on the first day of the congress.
