British Pharmacological Society Public Engagement Award, deadline 31 March

This award will recognise high-quality public engagement, both of pharmacology research and inspiring the public about pharmacology generally. It will also raise awareness within the pharmacology community of the importance of demonstrating pharmacology across a diverse range of public audiences.

Winners will receive £1,000, be presented with the award during Pharmacology 2025, and be invited to share details of their initiative.

Types of Engagement

• Activities that share pharmacology research with public groups – this could include broadcasting, exhibitions, social media activities or public lectures.
• Activities that inform the public about pharmacology and its role in either human or animal health – this could include outreach projects in schools, online or in the local community.

Criteria

• Relevance to pharmacology
• Quality of the initiative
• Evidence of qualitative or quantitative evaluations which show the benefits or outcomes from the engagement and how it could evolve.
• Efforts to ensure accessibility of participation will also be considered regarding equity, diversity and inclusion.

Nominations must come from members of the British Pharmaceutical Society, but candidates can be members, non-members, individuals or teams.

The deadline for nominations is 31 March.
