Applications for the 2023-2024 Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism are currently open, and the deadline to apply is Friday, April 7. Our fellowship program, which began in 1996, has helped hundreds of journalists cover stories on pressing mental health issues. Recipients receive a $10,000 stipend, yearlong training, and access to resources and experts to help develop a diverse cohort of journalists who can effectively report on behavioral and mental health topics across evolving and emerging platforms.

Are you a journalist with a great idea for a high-impact story that “Follows the Money,” but few resources to get it done? The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism would like to hear from you.

AHCJ has teamed up with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with the support of the NIHCM Foundation, for this 2.5-day in-person training for journalists in Atlanta on the CDC campus.

A select group of journalists will be chosen for this fellowship program — one of AHCJ's most highly regarded training opportunities — May 21-25, 2023.

Thanks to a grant from The Commonwealth Fund, SABEW will cover the hotel costs and provide a travel stipend for out-of-town attendees. The program kicks off on Thursday evening, March 23, with a welcome dinner and drinks at the National Press Club. On Friday, March 24, we will have a day of learning at Northwestern University’s Medill News Service, located in D.C. We will conclude on Saturday, March 25, before noon.

The AHCJ Reporting Fellowships on Health Care Performance is a yearlong program allowing journalists to pursue a significant reporting project related to the U.S. health care system. It can be local, regional or national in scope, or a mix. Though not an exclusive requirement of your project proposal, this year’s review committee remains interested in projects focused on health equity. This might include racial disparities within a community, gaps in public health inclusion, unstable housing, insurance access, food insecurity, violence as a health issue, how health care institutions or systems are applying a racial equity lens to their policies and practices or otherwise addressing inequities or disparities, or other examinations of systemic problems that became so apparent over the past year.

Fellows pursue the projects with the support of their newsrooms or arranged outlets, which commit to publish or air the work.
