The Nutrition 2020 Family Support Grant is a reimbursable allowance up to a maximum of $750 towards eligible funding scenarios. Provision of these grants is part of a study to assess and evaluate conference attendance feasibility; through this effort we will gather feedback about preferences and barriers to conference attendance. Only one parent or caregiver from each family may apply for a grant and only one grant per family may be awarded. Priority will be given to ASN members who are students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career scientists. International applicants welcome. The following scenarios are permitted: On-site care provided in the Seattle area, Caregiver travels to attendee’s home to care for dependent, Dependent travels to caregiver outside home community, Caregiver travels to meeting location to care for dependent)
