If our fund raising is successful, ISRB would like to offer grants to partially offset additional child care costs incurred by participants or speakers when participating at the upcoming inaugural meeting. Eligible costs include fees for a caregiver or child-care facility, travel costs for a caregiver, or travel costs for taking the child to the meeting etc. Please indicate on the registration form clickbox whether you would like to be considered for a grant. We expect to contact you by July 1 about our ability to provide funding and any further information we would need.

Update: The deadline for abstracts has now passed and the childcare requests will no longer be considered. We are now assessing the applications we have received and will be providing funding shortly.
