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 2009. 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. Our intention is to reimburse the following amounts per family: Graduate Students - up to $400; Post-docs - up to $300; and Faculty - up to $200. However, please note that there are limited funds available for this program, so reimbursement amounts may be smaller in the event that many requests are received and approved.
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 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 to those that pre-apply by submitting the following Childcare Reimbursement Application form. 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 following the meeting; no reimbursement claims can be honored if they are received more than 30 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 2009 meeting, please submit the following form by May 1, 2009. READ OUR POLICY ON BRINGING CHILDREN TO THE MEETING
