Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the second call for the Dependent Care Travel Award (DCTA) for travel during the period from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025. This award is designed to subsidize childcare expenses related to travel for conferences, research meetings, or conducting research, as well as daycare costs during a sabbatical that requires relocation.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Primary caregivers of children 6 years or younger (at the time of application).
- Senate faculty member with at least 50% caregiver responsibility.
Award Details:
- Maximum award is $1,000 per cycle.
- Funds are disbursed after travel is completed.
Award Cycles:
- Two cycles per academic year.
- Faculty may apply every cycle.
- Receiving
an award in one cycle does not disqualify a faculty member from applying
in the subsequent cycle within the same academic year.
Application Process:
The second DCTA cycle is for travel between January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025. Please complete the online application no later than 11:59 PM on March 30, 2025.
