Kaiser Family Foundation Media Fellowships to Support Journalists Interested in Health Policy and Public Health 

Deadline: 2005 mini-fellowship, October 22, 2004 (http://www.kff.org/about/mediafellowships.cfm)

Other Deadlines: Various

The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation (http://www.kff.org/) offers Media Fellowships in Health to provide support for journalists and editors interested in issues related to health policy, health financing, and public health. 

The Kaiser Media Fellowships in Health for 2002 will award up to six fellowships to provide journalists with opportunities to pursue individual projects combined with group briefings and site visits on a wide range of health and social policy issues. The program will offer an annual stipend of $55,000 (prorated for length of actual fellowship). Travel for research purposes is also available. (Deadline: March 8, 2002) 

In 2001, the Kaiser Media Fellowships Program is offering up to fifteen mini-fellowships to encourage in-depth reporting on public health and health policy issues by providing journalists with travel and research support to complete a specific project for publication or broadcast. Typically, grants are $5,000 each (up to $10,000 for broadcast projects). Priority is given to projects other- wise unlikely to be undertaken or completed, with a focus on issues that have not been covered or are underreported and which have a high likelihood of being published/aired and of reaching a mass audience. (Deadline: October 12, 2001) 

See the Kaiser Family Foundation Web site for information on submitting materials for these programs.
