Childcare

The ASCB Women in Cell Biology (WICB) Committee, with funding from Nature Publishing Group, is accepting applications for grant support to help offset the cost of childcare, enabling scientists with dependent children to attend the ASCB meeting. Applicants are required to present a talk and/or poster at the meeting and will be notified of the disposition of their application by September 1. Grants will be in the form of reimbursement of qualified expenses up to the designated limit to be remitted at the ASCB Annual Meeting. Only one parent of a child or children may apply. Priority will be given to students and early-stage scientists. Click here to apply. The application deadline has been extended to Thursday, September 8, 2011.

Onsite childcare services may be available through the concierge at many participating hotels. The concierge may be able to provide you with a list of babysitting services for individual or group sitters to provide in-room hotel childcare.

The ASCB assumes no responsibility with respect to these services and accepts no liabilities.
