Virtual Symposium on Supporting Family Caregivers Working in Science, Engineering, and Medicine
February 27th, 12:00 - 5:00 pm (EST)
Please join us for the first of two national symposia focused on policies and practices that can support students and professionals in science, engineering, and health fields with family caregiving responsibilities, such as for children or older adults. This virtual symposium will bring together scholars and leaders from a range of sectors and seek to identify evidence-based interventions that can support recruitment, retention, and advancement of family caregivers in science, engineering, and health fields. The insights gained will inform the work of an ongoing National Academies consensus study. The study and symposia are made possible with support from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Henry Luce Foundation, and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
