Description

The American Astronomical Society (AAS) offers Dependent Care Grants to support members who face financial challenges related to caring for children or adult dependents, particularly when attending professional meetings. These grants aim to reduce barriers for participation, especially for early career scientists and those at smaller institutions, by subsidizing additional care costs incurred due to meeting attendance—either at the meeting location or at home. Eligible expenses include travel and care costs for dependents or caregivers, but not ongoing or routine care, meals, or meeting registration fees.
