Caregiver Grant
The Caregiver Grant award is intended to provide financial assistance for active ABS members whose caregiving responsibilities for dependent persons would otherwise limit their ability to attend and present at the annual ABS meeting. Dependents include but are not limited to young children and aging parents. Receiving this award does not preclude ABS members from applying for additional funding from ABS.Candidates are prioritized according to their need, abstract and CVs. Preference will be given to applicants who are presenting their work. The award money may be spent in any of a variety of ways to support your conference participation. Examples include daycare, childcare at home, costs of travel for a caregiver to help with caregiving responsibilities etc. Funds should be used to support dependent care rather than cover other costs associated with meeting attendance.
