Candidates are selected based on a competitive project proposal and reference letters. The award scheme provides opportunity to work on a specified project in a different laboratory in a foreign country. It is associated with the journals "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education" (formerly "Biochemical Education"), "BioEssays", "BioFactors", "Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry", "IUBMB Life", "Molecular Aspects of Medicine" and "Trends in Biochemical Sciences". International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) is an international non-governmental organisation concerned with biochemistry and molecular biology.
