From time to time the CTBMB offers grants to its members. In the past these have focussed on enabling researchers to adopt new technologies such as Nanopore sequencing and single-cell sequencing. There are no grant rounds open currently. Any future grant opportunities will be advertised through the CTBMB newsletter and social media (Follow @CTBMB_JCU on twitter).
