Family Travel Grant
The ASL is offering a small number of travel grants of up to $250 each for ASL members who plan to attend the North American Annual Meeting in Irvine with their families. These grants are to be used for childcare and related travel expenses. In order to apply, submit a brief application that includes your status (faculty, postdoc, student, etc.), as well as your role in the conference (i.e. speaker, participant). Also include a short statement about your travel plans and a short description of the child care plan (or possible child care plan), i.e. tell us how you think the funds will be used. Applications should be emailed to Shannon Miller at asl@uconn.edu by Friday, January 20, 2023. Questions may also be directed to Shannon Miller at this email address.
