For those needing assistance with childcare, SABER West is offering $200 childcare grants on a first-come, first-serve basis. All expenses will require formal documentation (e.g. airline ticket receipt, daycare receipt, etc) and funds will be provided after the conference. 

Examples of acceptable expenses include (but are not limited to): cost of a babysitter either at home or in Irvine or non-car transportation to the meeting for a caregiver (flights, trains, etc). For any caregiver accompanying the attendee to the conference, they are welcome to eat the conference meals for free, please just make us aware this will be happening in advance.

To apply for the childcare grant, please complete the following form. You will be notified when abstract submission and registration opens as to whether you have received access to these funds. Once notified, you will need to register for the conference within 1 week or the funds will be made available to another participant. 

If you have any questions, please contact Mike Wilton (mikewilton@ucsb.edu).
