Caregiver Awards

Caregiver Awards

We are pleased to offer Caregiver Awards to help offset childcare and dependent-care expenses during the annual meeting. These awards aim to make conference participation more accessible for researchers and attendees with caregiving responsibilities, enabling them to fully engage in conference activities.

Recipients may use the funds in the way that best supports their family’s needs. While CCN is unable to provide on-site childcare services, awardees are welcome to arrange their own caregiving solutions.

Eligible expenses may include:

  • Third-party dependent care services during the conference
  • Travel expenses for a designated caregiver
  • Per diem support of up to $50 per day for a designated caregiver

Award Value: Up to $500 per recipient. If applications exceed available funding, priority will be given to researchers in the early stages of their careers.

Recommended Childcare Services: For parents attending CCN near NYU who need childcare, the Local Organizing Committee recommends Village Kids, and Creative Steps.

Caregiver Award Applications closed on June 1.

Caregiver Awards are sponsored by Natural & Artificial Minds at Princeton University.

Travel Awards

Travel Awards

CCN is a community-driven conference that brings together scientists from around the world. However, the cost of travel and conference attendance can present a significant barrier, preventing many talented researchers from participating.

To help increase accessibility and inclusion, we are proud to offer Travel Awards to support researchers from underrepresented groups in attending CCN. These awards are designed to both reduce financial barriers for early-career researchers, particularly those who may otherwise be unable to attend, and recognize promising scientists within our community.

Award Value: Up to $500 per recipient. If applications exceed available funding, priority will be given to researchers in the early stages of their careers.

Applications for Travel Awards closed on June 1.

Travel Awards are sponsored by Natural & Artificial Minds at Princeton University.

CCN 2028 will be held in North America, in August or the beginning of September. We invite researchers and institutions based in the region to submit a proposal to host and organize this meeting.

The organizing chairs are central to making CCN happen. They are not simply local hosts — together with the committee chairs, they shape the scientific and organizational identity of the conference.

Submit a Proposal

Proposals will be evaluated on the commitment of the organizing chairs, the suitability and accessibility of the proposed venue, the quality and appeal of the host city, and the financial and logistical feasibility of the proposed dates.

To express your interest in hosting CCN 2028, please complete the form below. If you have questions before submitting, please contact the CCN Steering Committee at [].

Please Submit a Proposal. The deadline to submit a proposal is August 31.
