Reminder of JLab ExCare (Travel Childcare) Fund

Dear All JLab Users:

As the conference "season" approaches, I'd like to remind everyone of 
the JLab ExCare Fund.

The ExCARE program provides financial assistance for extra childcare 
expenses incurred when scientist-parents travel to conferences, 
workshops, and collaboration meetings for their JLab-related research. 
The program has been well accepted in the past two years. This year, we 
would like to see more people to apply, and have extended the 
eligibility to all users of JLab. This means graduate students with 
families are now eligible to apply. Post-tenure faculty members can also 
apply, although will receive lower priority than pre-tenure faculty, 
postdoc, and graduate students. In addition, each family can apply the 
ExCare fund for multiple trips.

Eligible cost that can be covered by ExCARE includes: extra hours of 
babysitter, travel expenses of a family member to care for the child, 
etc. Please check out our updated wiki page for eligible costs and how 
to apply: 
https://wiki.jlab.org/cugwiki/index.php/JSA_Travel_Fund_for_Extra_Child_Care_(ExCARE) 
If you have any questions about the ExCARE program, please feel free to 
email Xiaochao Zheng (xiaochao at jlab.org)

We would also like to hear new ideas about possible expansion of the 
ExCARE program (although any significant addition will require us to 
submit the program as a new proposal rather than renewal of the existing 
ExCARE). If you have ideas to add, please contact Xiaochao Zheng as well 
(see email above).
