#### [Application for Dependent Care Funds](/sites/g/files/omnuum1751/files/facultyresources/files/fas_dependent_care_fund_application_6_3_13.docx "FAS Dependent Care Fund Application")

Harvard has two Dependent Care Funds, which provide financial assistance to scholars who must travel for a professional event or research program to advance their academic careers and who have dependent-care obligations that might otherwise impede such travel. FAS tenure-track faculty are eligible to apply for these funds. Please see the ["Work/Life & Benefits"](http://facultyresources.fas.harvard.edu/worklife-benefits-family) page for more information on these funds and other dependent care resources.

#### [Application for FAS Professional Development Funds](/sites/g/files/omnuum1751/files/facultyresources/files/application_for_professional_development_funds_2-24-10.docx "Application for Professional Development Funds")

To support their professional development, the Edgerley Family Dean of the FAS will reimburse tenure-track faculty up to $1,000 for activities they undertake to advance their development as scholars and teachers. For example, faculty members may choose to convene a group of Harvard or external scholars to provide feedback on a book manuscript or grant proposal. This $1,000 grant is included in the start-up package for new faculty, starting on July 1, 2010. Faculty hired prior to this date should use this application form for the purpose of reimbursement.
