Child & Dependent Care

Onsite Child Care

ASV is committed to having the annual meeting accessible to all interested virologists. For ASV 2023, ASV has contracted with KiddieCorp (kiddiecorp.com), a national firm that has provided onsite daycare for meetings of national organizations since 1986. KiddieCorp provided childcare at ASV 2022 in Madison, Wisconsin.

The program is for children ages 6 months through 15 years old. The dates for the program are June 24-28, 2023 and will be located at the Classic Center in Athens, Georgia. Snacks and water will be provided for all children. Meals need to be supplied by parents or pre-order with KiddieCorp.

The cost for the children's program is $10.00 per hour, per child. Children must be registered for a minimum of two consecutive hours per child for each day registered.

If registration does not meet minimum numbers by April 21, 2023, ASV may cancel the program. If this happens, parents will be notified and will not be charged the registration fees.

The advance registration deadline is April 21, 2023. Register early as availability is limited and handled on a first-come, first-served basis. You are also welcome to register on-site, however, there is no guarantee a spot will be available.

ASVCares Grant for Dependent Care

ASV will provide grants to members attending the Annual Meeting to help offset the costs associated with dependent care during the Annual Meeting. You may apply for an ASVCares grant by logging into your membership account or by using the button below.

Applications require a statement of need and a budget justification. Awardees (trainees and faculty) may use the funds at their discretion – to bring a caregiver and the child to the meeting, provide dependent care at home during the meeting, etc. These grants will be awarded independently of other ASV travel awards. Applications are now open and will be processed on a rolling basis until May 5, 2023.

*ASVCares grants cannot be used for onsite childcare through Kiddie corp. Because the costs of onsite care through KiddieCorp are already partially subsidized by ASV, the hourly costs ($10/hr/child) will not be eligible for ASVCares funding.
