Yes. A limited subsidy is available to help eligible early-career investigators travel to Atlanta one day early to attend the workshop before NACFC.

The subsidy covers up to $230 for one night of lodging and up to $20 for one dinner.

To be considered, you must:

• Hold a position or rank no higher than assistant professor or be at an equivalent early-career level.
• Already be traveling to Atlanta to attend NACFC.
• Need an additional hotel night to attend the full-day workshop.
• Confirm that the additional hotel night is not being paid for by another funding source.
• Submit a subsidy request by completing the required questions on the workshop registration form.
• Attend the full-day workshop.

Complete the subsidy request section of the workshop registration form and provide all requested information so the event team can confirm your eligibility.

Applicants will be notified by email by mid-September if their request is approved. The email will include instructions for the next steps.

Funding is available for approximately 40 early-career investigators.

Requests will be reviewed in the order they are received and approved until available funding has been allocated. Submitting a request does not guarantee approval. Each request will be reviewed carefully to confirm that the applicant meets the eligibility requirements.

Approved participants must be established as payees in Emory University’s payment system. Instructions for completing the payee setup process will be provided to participants whose subsidy requests are approved.

You must submit:

• A detailed hotel folio that clearly shows the eligible one-night lodging charge.
• An itemized receipt for the eligible dinner.

The receipts must clearly show the amount paid. Credit card statements or booking confirmations alone may not be accepted as proof of payment.

Reimbursement requests will be processed after the workshop. Please allow approximately two to three weeks for the event team to submit the request and for payment to be issued.

Processing may take longer if required receipts, payee information, or approvals are incomplete.
