Application deadline is September 5, 2024.

A limited amount of child care support is available for Conference attendees who are bringing small children to the meeting or who incur extra expenses in leaving their children at home (i.e., extra daycare or babysitting services). In the event that the number of requests exceeds available funding, preference will be given to applicants in the early stages of their careers.

What Expenses are Allowable?

  • Daycare expenses at the meeting;
  • Extra daycare expenses incurred at home because the primary caregiver was attending the meeting (e.g., overtime at a daycare center, cost of a sitter); and/or
  • Expenses incurred in bringing a babysitter (or family member acting as caregiver) to the meeting to care for the child.

Who is Eligible?

  • Individuals that have an accepted abstract who are planning to attend the Conference in New Orleans. Abstract acceptances will be cross checked after the program is set, so if you have submitted an abstract please apply now! 

How Do I Apply?

  • Complete the Child Care Support Application using the form below by September 5, 2024.
  • Recipients will be notified upon approval of their application by October 1, 2024.

How Do I Receive the  Funds?

  • All child care support recipients must complete either a W8 or W9 before payment is issued. Complete details will be sent to accepted applicants.

NOTE: There will be no Conference sponsored child care services at the meeting. The Conference does not sanction or recommend child care providers, and does not assume responsibility or liability for child care services of any sort. It is the responsibility of the parent(s) to thoroughly investigate all child care providers.
