The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) and Journalists Network on Generations are welcoming applications for the next class of the Journalists in Aging Fellows Program. The submission deadline is Friday, July 24.
This program’s goals are to educate journalists about issues in aging, better allowing them to spread a new awareness to all segments of America’s population; and to disseminate accurate information about new scientific findings, policy debates, innovations, and evidence-based solutions. The in-person portion of the program will commence at GSA’s 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting — taking place from November 4 to 7 in National Harbor, Maryland — and showcase new research highlights and host discussions with veteran journalists on how to position aging stories in the current media environment.
The fellowship requires reporters to deliver two projects based on current aging research, including a short-initial story and major piece or series in the following months. A $1,500 stipend is provided. (Travel/lodging/meal costs associated with the National Harbor meeting are also covered.) Questions may be addressed to program Co-Director Todd Kluss at tkluss@geron.org or (202) 587-2839.
