<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#333333">The Institute has announced a new Portable Child Care Supplement that may be used to reimburse costs associated with child care for infants and children under age 13, including day care,
emergency care, nannies, vacation and summer day camps. Reimbursements can be made for Massachusetts-licensed caregivers only. Eligibility for the supplement is based on household income and the number of children under the age of 13, and supplements to eligible
postdocs may range from $3,000-$10,000 per year. There are similar but separate programs for Postdoctoral Associates (employees) and Postdoctoral Fellows (non-employees). Please apply to the relevant program according to your primary appointment title. If
you are not sure which program you should use, please email <a href="mailto:mitpostdocs-www@mit.edu">
