Recipient is an early-career researcher who will soon be starting an ML PhD at a top-tier institution. Recipient wishes to present an accepted paper on a safety-related topic at ACM FAccT, the premier responsible & trustworthy ML conference, and funding from other sources was unavailable.
Grant amount is for flights & conference registration only, as the recipient was able to share a hotel room with a friend.

This is a cheap way to both enable a promising early-care researcher to expand their network and gain feedback on their work, and disseminate safety research findings to a relevant audience.
Usually I think costs for things like this should fall on the person’s employer but there were some bureaucratic issues that made this a non-starter in this instance.
