Dependent Care Support
LDC is pleased to offer childcare/dependent care support through a grant from the National Science Foundation.
Short-term dependent care costs are available to LDC participants who:
- Are registered to attend the LDC
- Face a significant financial burden for alternative care options for a dependent during the time of the Conference
- Do not already normally pay for childcare or dependent care services during the time of the conference
Please submit your information, describe how you would use funding, and approximately how much you expect to need in the form below. These grants will be processed as reimbursements; staff will forward instructions to submit a request when communicating the status of your application. Please be prepared to submit documentation of expenses incurred.
Support up to $500 is available for:
- Child or dependent care services in Tallahassee FL while you attend LDC
- Child or dependent care services at home while you attend LDC
- Travel for a caregiver to accompany a dependent traveling with you e.g. an infant
- Other scenarios on a case-by-case basis
Priority consideration will be given to applications submitted by February 24, 2023; applications submitted after that date will be considered on a rolling basis as funds are available until a final date of March 10.
