Description
The Care Assistance Awards, offered by the American Society of Mammalogists (ASM), provide financial support to active ASM members whose responsibilities for dependent care or personal assistance needs would otherwise limit their ability to attend and fully participate in the ASM Annual Meeting. The program aims to increase inclusivity and ensure that members with caregiving duties or accessibility requirements can engage in the meeting’s scientific, networking, and professional development opportunities. Funds are strictly allocated for care-related expenses, such as dependent care at home or near the conference, hiring temporary caregivers, or covering costs associated with bringing a dependent or helper to the event.
