SUMMARY:Expanding freelance options: Grant writing
DESCRIPTION:Join the Association for Health Care Journalists for the first in what is hoped to be a series of programs over the next couple of years\, pinpointing new options for freelancers to use their journalistic skills to make a living. \nDate: Thursday\, Feb. 27 \nTime: 6-8 p.m. (Light meal available 6-6:30 p.m.) \nLocation: The Open Office2843 Washington Blvd.Cleveland Heights\, OH 44118 \nFreelancers in the Cleveland-Akron area have many opportunities to do grant writing. Locally\, grant writers are in demand by health-care organizations\, disease-specific organizations and health-welfare focused charities\, organizations and/or groups. \nThree local experts will share “been-there\, done-that” insights and anecdotes about \n\n\nwhat it takes to recognize your transferrable grant writing skills \n\n\nwhat it takes to make the mind-shift needed to be a successful grant writer; \n\n\ntips\, tricks and strategies for successful grant writing (which is a lot more collaborative and iterative than you might think); \n\n\nnavigating the non-profit landscape; and \n\n\nhow to position and market yourself as a grant writer. \n\n\nPresenters include: \nSandy Erlanger\, senior development officer at University Hospitals \nTopics: What she does on a daily basis as a grant writer\, including working with colleagues (grant writing is often a team process)\, dealing with those for whom grants are being written as well as the funders to whom proposals are sent\, and the iterative process that grant proposals go through. \nSusan Ackerman\, chair\, Health Policy and Planning\, Center for Community Solutions \nTopics: The many health- and human welfare-focused organizations and agencies Northeast Ohio; the kinds of grants they will be seeking (based on the Center’s respected research); areas/topics of interest to grant funders — and therefore grant writers. \nKim St. John-Stevenson\, Principal\, InkPlusLLC and a former grant administrator at the St. Luke’s Foundation \nTopics: The mechanics of grant writing (and why every grant form/format is different); the mind-shift that journalists must make to pursue freelance opportunities in grant writing; and tips and strategies for marketing yourself as a grant writer. \nThe panel will be followed by a Q&A period. \nPlease contact Eileen Beal (eojb@visn.net or 216-320-1358) to register a space (and so she and co-chapter chair\, Carrie Buchanan\, journalism instructor at JCU\, will know how much food to order).

SUMMARY:Deadline for Harvard Medical School’s media fellowship program
DESCRIPTION:Application Deadline: Feb. 28\n\n\n\n\n\nHarvard Medical School’s media fellowship program is entering its seventeenth season. This spring’s two fellowship programs are “The Eyes (and Ears) Have It: Sensory biology and its promise for patients” (March 31 – April 4) and “Trauma: Mending cells\, bodies and minds” (May 5 – 9). Descriptions of each program can be found online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nReporters are invited to choose one of these programs and apply. Three applicants will be chosen for each program. \nFor a one-week period\, three fellows will visit researchers at the medical school and at its affiliated teaching hospitals and research institutes\, meeting with a broad spectrum of faculty and other stakeholders. Although reporters will attend as a group\, prior to arrival we will work with each fellow to cater to any individual interests and the interests of their media outlet and tailor the experience within the broader theme. \nThe application process is simple: just email me three to five relevant clips and two to three paragraphs detailing what you want to take away from the fellowship. In addition\, please state that you have license from your editor\, or usual freelance clients\, to cover the topic generically in the future. (You are not obligated to cover Harvard’s work in the area\, just the field as a whole.) \nApplications are due Friday\, February 28\, 2014. We plan to notify successful applicants very soon afterward. Harvard Medical School will pay for participants’ lodging and meals (but not travel to and from Boston).These fellowships are offered as educational opportunities on a background basis. We do not monitor or “gate-keep” fellows’ contact with faculty throughout the program. \nContact: David Cameron\, Director of Science Communications\, Harvard Medical Schooldavid_cameron@hms.harvard.edu\,  617-432-0441
