Description
The Care Assistance Awards, administered by the American Society of Mammalogists (ASM), are designed to reduce barriers to participation in the ASM Annual Meeting for members who have dependent-care responsibilities or require personal assistance. By providing financial support for care-related expenses, the program enables recipients to present research, network, and engage fully in meeting activities. The awards reflect ASM’s commitment to inclusivity and accessibility within the mammalogy community. Funds are strictly for care assistance—not for registration, applicant travel, or general meeting costs—and may be combined with other ASM travel and honoraria awards in the same year.
