Event and Meeting Grants
NCBiotech's event and meeting grants provide support for North Carolina-based events and meetings that bring information and networking opportunities on diverse topics to the life science community statewide.
Biotechnology Event Sponsorships (BES) provide up to $3,000 for events to support life science-focused events held primarily for a North Carolina audience. Biotechnology Meeting Grants (BMG) are restricted to national/international meetings being held in North Carolina and offer up to $10,000.
Virtual events are eligible for support. See the guidelines for details.
Any North Carolina-based nonprofit organization may apply.
Fiscal Year 2021-2022 guidelines will be posted by mid-late April 2021.
