Caregiver Grant: Yes (Grants for Carers: Apply for up to £1,000 to help cover caring costs, Caring responsibilities are wide and varied, but we know they can sometimes be hard to balance alongside your career. With our Grants for Carers, you can apply for up to £1,000 per year to help you attend a chemistry-related meeting, conference or workshop or a professional development event. This money would be used to cover any additional costs you incur, paying for care that you usually provide. Each application will be assessed on its own merits, Every carers responsibilities are different, so we are committed to assessing each application individually. However, by way of guidance, the kinds of expenses that we will consider funding include: extra home help or nursing care for a dependant whilst you will not be present, additional medical/respite care for a dependant whilst you will not be present travel expenses to allow a relative to accompany you in order to care for your dependants whilst you attend a meeting or event, extended hours with a care worker/childminder/play scheme to allow you to return home later than normal. You are eligible to apply if: you are a chemist, you will incur additional caring expenses while attending a chemistry-related meeting, conference, workshop or professional development event you will use these funds to cover the cost of care that you usually provide you are based in the UK or Ireland or if not, you will normally have held three years RSC membership (either past or current). We have designed the process to be straightforward and will ask you to provide brief details of the event and a description of how the grant will be used. We aim to respond to you within six weeks of your application. To apply please complete the Grants for Carers application form. Multiple applications, up to the maximum value of £1,000 per year, will be considered. All applications will be individually assessed at our discretion. Please note that, if you receive a grant, you will need to complete a Grants for Carers return form and submit receipts after your attendance at the event. Addressing inequality: These grants have been introduced following the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Breaking the barriers report which found that 78percent of chemists working in UK academia felt that managing parenting and/or caring responsibilities had an impact on women’s retention and progression. However, applications to this fund are not limited to female scientists – anyone with caring responsibilities is welcome to apply. These grants have been supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Chemists’ Community Fund.
