DEADLINE: Good Science Project–Johns Hopkins MA in Science Writing's Reporting Grants

The Good Science Project–Johns Hopkins MA in Science Writing Fellowship aims to improve science journalism and science itself by annually providing four $5,000 reporting grants for feature-length magazine articles on the funding and practice of science in the United States. Grants will support articles that reveal flaws in current science policy, practice, or funding and identify ways these challenges might be overcome.

Grant funds will be distributed in two installments: $2,500 when the grant is awarded and $2,500 upon submission of a polished final draft. Awardees can use the funds to cover living expenses and reporting costs, including travel, and are not required to track or submit expenses.

Articles must be completed within six months of receiving a grant, regardless of publication status, and should be at least 3,000 words long.

Full-time journalists may apply for grants but should explain how a grant will make it possible to cover a story that their publication would not otherwise cover. International applicants are welcome to apply, but proposed articles should address scientific funding in the United States.

Deadline: Nov 15, 2024
