The Dependent Support Travel Award is designed to help APS members who are primary caregivers offset the costs of dependent care while attending the American Physiology Summit or other APS conferences. The award provides up to $500 in reimbursable expenses, aiming to reduce barriers for caregivers and promote inclusivity and professional development within the APS community. Eligible expenses include certain travel and care arrangements for dependents or caregivers, but do not cover ongoing dependent care costs or the transport of dependents to the meeting location.
