Description
The Dependent Support Travel Award from the American Physiological Society (APS) provides a reimbursable allowance of up to $500 to help offset dependent care expenses incurred when attending the American Physiology Summit or other APS conferences. The award is designed to support primary caregivers by covering specific dependent care costs, such as travel expenses for a caregiver or dependent, or additional hours of in-home care during the conference. Funds are not intended for ongoing dependent care or for transporting dependents to the meeting itself. All reimbursements require valid receipts, and awards are contingent on available funding.
