Attendance Stipends Available for the 2025 Maternal & Infant Convening

The 2025 Maternal & Infant Convening collaborating partners are committed to making this year's conference inclusive and accessible to all who wish to attend. In order to help reduce barriers to attendance due to financial constraints, they are offering attendance stipends to anyone planning to attend the conference and requires financial assistance to do so. There are limited stipend funds available, so priority will be given to applicants who would not otherwise be able to attend, such as students and individuals without employer reimbursement for travel.

The offer is a cash stipend up to $300 per person in addition to one night's lodging for those traveling to attend the conference. Stipends can be used to cover any expenses related to attendance at the conference such as travel and mileage, meals beyond those provided through the conference, missed wages, or childcare needed to attend. Receipts are not required and stipends will be paid upon registration on the day of the event.

Convening registration is required to be able to apply for a stipend. Registration can be found here. All stipend applications are due by February 14, 2025.
