Description
FASEB CARES (Career Advancement and Research Excellence Support) is part of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology’s Workforce program. It provides financial support to researchers at FASEB member societies whose family caregiving responsibilities create barriers to scientific training, professional development, and career progression.
The program supports current and future professional goals, including protected research time, preparing grant applications and manuscripts, attending conferences, workshops, and meetings, and pursuing certification programs. By addressing dependent-care needs, CARES aims to make these opportunities possible for researchers who could not otherwise pursue them without financial assistance. Awards are based on documented need and recognize that caregiving circumstances differ.
