Child & Dependent Care at the AAS Winter Meeting

Child/Dependent Care Grants

The AAS does not want the financial burden of child or dependent care to impact members' ability to attend meetings, especially for early career scientists or those at small institutions with limited funding. To help, members may apply for a grant to subsidize dependent care services during a meeting, for use either at the meeting location or at home. Applications for these grants are due 5 December. If requests exceed available funding, preference will be given to those in the early stages of their careers. If you have questions about the child/dependent care grants, please contact Kelly Clark via email or at 202-328-2010 x105.

Onsite childcare will be available during the 229th AAS meeting, 3-7 January, through KiddieCorp. The cost of care is $8 per hour and the advance registration deadline is 6 December. Learn more and register online, or download the registration form.
