Mothers in Science Caregiver Travel Grant
The Mothers in Science Caregiver Travel Grant offers 10 grants to promote the career advancement of women in STEMM by removing the financial obstacles to conference participation associated with caregiving responsibilities.
Ten (10) grants of 250 EUR each will be awarded to caregivers who wish to attend an in-person scientific conference in 2025. The funds for these grants were raised through our memberships, and we are extremely proud of our wonderful member community and grateful for their ongoing support.
This flexible grant allows each award recipient to find a suitable solution to meet their specific caregiving needs. Funds can be used to cover any expenses associated with childcare, elder or disability/chronic illness care necessary to allow conference participation, as long as they are clearly justified.
