Applications open for science, health, and/or environmental reporting fellowships; deadline is May 10

Applications are now being accepted for a new fellowship pilot program for early-career journalists who want more training in science, health, and/or environmental reporting.

The Association of Health Care Journalists, the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing, and the Society of Environmental Journalists have collaborated to create the year-long National Science-Health-Environment Reporting Fellowships program, aimed at staff and freelance journalists with between two and 10 years of professional reporting experience. The program is funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Department of Science Education and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

The 12 selected fellows can maintain their regular jobs while attending training opportunities across the nation and online, including niche workshops, a reporting boot camp, customized webinars, registration to national conferences, access to unique resources, and individual professional mentors to assist with career development. The curriculum includes basic science, interpreting medical studies, analyzing data, explaining evidence-based decisions, understanding climate science and more.

The application deadline is May 10. Click here for more information or to apply.
