The Anne Sleep Award

 

Established by Mrs Ivy Sleep in fulfilment of the wishes of her daughter, Dr Anne Sleep FLS.  Awards of up to £3,000 are made at (odd-numbered) two-year intervals, to assist one or more scholars to carry out biological research in the Middle or Far East, or similarly for scholars from the Middle or Far East to pursue their own biological research in the UK. 

 

Those selected for the Awards should normally have recently obtained a PhD at a recognised institution and be of the highest academic standing.
