Childcare Reimbursement Funds Available for Graduate
Students, Post-docs and Faculty from the Eli Romanoff Bequest
Through the Women in Plant Biology Committee, ASPB will provide a partial reimbursement
for child care or babysitting services for children under 12 years of age whose
ASPB-member parents are attending Plant Biology 2008. Funds come from the bequest
of Eli
Romanoff, a long-time member of ASPP/ASPB and winner of the Adolph E. Gude
Award in 1995. This is a continuation of a program that was originally funded
with a donation from John
Radin.
The reimbursement is available to ASPB members on a sliding scale. Per family:
Graduate Students - up to $400; Post-docs - up to $300; and Faculty - up to
$200
The subsidy is for ASPB member parents who would otherwise be unable to attend
sessions or networking activities. Parents should make their own arrangements
via their hotel concierge (call +52 999 942 1234 for the Hyatt Regency or +52
999 942 1111 for the Fiesta Americana, ASPB's official meeting hotels) or other
services in the area. Childcare arrangements need to be made by the parents,
not ASPB. Reimbursement forms will be available at the conference registration
desk. Please provide receipts to the conference registration desk at the meeting
or by fax to 301-251-6740 afterwards. Reimbursements will be processed at ASPB
headquarters immediately following the meeting; no reimbursement claims can
be honored if they are received more than 60 days after the meeting closes.
A paid local service must be used; the reimbursement is not intended to cover
costs for bringing individuals with you to provide childcare. ASPB assumes no
responsibility with respect to child care services and accepts no liabilities
relative to the services.
If you are interested in receiving a childcare reimbursement for the Plant
Biology 2008 meeting, please submit the following form by May 1, 2008.
