KITP

Other things being equal, longer visits will be given higher priority.  As stated elsewhere, it is rare that family visits of duration of less than four weeks can be supported.

Priority Rankings:

• A scientist who can participate only if some assistance for family needs is provided;

• A scientist coming alone with a small child (under age 3) as infant/toddler care is hard to get and expensive;

• A scientist coming alone with a young child (age 3-12) needing a playgroup or a part-time sitter;

• A couple, both program participants, coming with child(ren) under the age of 13;

• A scientist with child(ren) who is unable to use one of our subsidized campus housing units;

• A scientist with child(ren) who chooses not to use one of our subsidized campus units;

• A couple, not both program participants, coming with child(ren) under the age of 13;

• A couple coming from outside the U.S. with children of any age as the expenses will be greater.
