1. Eligible Persons
Full-time faculty members (regardless of campus) who are pregnant at the time of application or are raising a child in the third grade of elementary school or younger.

2. Support Period
The period during which assistance for research or education (regular curriculum) is required (from the time of selection until March 31, 2021, at the latest).
