In consultation with the ASA ECR Chapter, we have developed a set of COVID Fund Guidelines (attached) with the aim to make the fund conditions more transparent and accessible. Applications will be considered as they are received. *Prioritisation of individuals* Students and ECRs (within five years FTE of PhD) will be strongly prioritised. More senior members with a very compelling case may also be considered. *Funding level* Individual payments, up to $1,500, with the expectation that most requests would be substantially less than this amount. Members can apply in more than one funding round, if funds are available, but the total integrated funding per individual is capped at $1,500. *Accessing funds* After reviewing the COVID Fund Guidelines, please fill the online form, with attachments, at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/3a4rCE8wmrt3zqxyDHNOLyr?domain=forms.gle Kind regards, John L -- *I'm an LGBTIQ Ally** - Find out more at **https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/qWbbCGv0oyC1P84nMS7mqSF?domain=monash.edu Professor John Lattanzio President, Astronomical Society of Australia School of Physics and Astronomy Monash University Victoria 3800 AUSTRALIA Ph: +61 (0)3 9905-4428 WWW: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/FnjvCK1DvKT2Y1WKnhAsjOm?domain=users.monash.edu.au https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/9-KDCMwGxOtqLJ3PZt1cTXo?domain=orcid.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...it?s a human story that builds to a climax and it?s personal from end to end.
