About Us
Speaking and networking at conferences is crucial to career advancement, and these opportunities often create a need for occasional non-routine dependent care. This burden disproportionately affects women and people early in their careers.
The Pitt Seed Dependent Care Reimbursement Project aims to:
- Create University-wide infrastructure and policies to support the career and professional network development of faculty, staff, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students through occasional non-routine dependent care support.
- Evaluate the efficacy and impact of the new infrastructure and policies to improve efforts in building professional networks and promoting work done at Pitt at the national and international level.
