The WORMS Family Care Award aims to support INFORMS Annual Meeting attendees who are primary caregivers for a family member. The award will partially reimburse recipients for up to $500 in costs associated with care and/or travel for family members whose caregiver is participating in the INFORMS Annual Meeting at Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA, between October 24-27, 2021 (virtually or in-person). Approximately four grants will be awarded, with the exact number depending on the available budget. The INFORMS Minority Issues Forum (MIF) has also committed to supporting one deserving applicant who may qualify as an underrepresented minority. Refer to eligibility guidelines in the attached document to ensure you are being considered.
