DESCRIPTION:Understanding the fellowship\n\n\n\nApplications are now being accepted for the 2022-23 class of the National Science-Health-Environment Reporting Fellowships. (Meet last year’s class) \n\n\n\nAHCJ is once again collaborating with the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing and the Society of Environmental Journalists to offer this development opportunity to early-career journalists. \n\n\n\nThe fellowships are designed to support early-career journalists who are pursuing — or have a strong interest in pursuing — careers in science\, health or environmental reporting (or all three). \n\n\n\nThe program is primarily aimed at journalists in their first decade of professional work\, who are interested in boosting their ability and confidence to tackle some of the most important stories of the 21st century. \n\n\n\nThe program allows fellows to maintain their regular employment while attending intensive training opportunities across the country\, many of which will lead to stories for their employer or clients. Fellowship leaders and mentors will provide support and guidance through seminars\, calls and e-mail consultations. \n\n\n\nCurriculum will include basic science\, interpreting medical studies\, analyzing data\, explaining evidence-based decisions\, understanding climate science and more. \n\n\n\nThe program aspires to provide essential on-the-job training that might otherwise take years to accumulate. \n\n\n\nExpectations\n\n\n\nCandidates should be early-career\, U.S.-based working journalists — either staff or freelance — with at least two years of professional experience. \n\n\n\nFellows will be expected to attend a handful of training events during the program year. Program leaders will decide whether events will take place in person or virtually based on the latest public health considerations\, with fellows’ safety always top of mind. \n\n\n\nEach employer (or\, for a freelancer\, a news outlet that is a regular client) will be asked to provide a letter of recommendation for the applicant. Employers are also asked to pledge their support for the fellows’ participation in all training events. \n\n\n\nBoard members and staffers of the partner organizations are not eligible to apply. \n\n\n\nCASW\, AHCJ\, and SEJ are fully committed to diversity and inclusion in their memberships\, training programs\, and the larger journalism field. We welcome applicants who support that commitment. \n\n\n\nWhat’s covered\n\n\n\nThe fellowship provides: \n\n\n\n\nCustomized seminars and workshops offered in conjunction with the annual conferences produced by AHCJ\, SEJ\, and CASW/NASW\, including support for conference attendance\, food\, lodging\, and travel within the United States;\n\n\n\nA series of virtual events providing skill-building opportunities and updates on stories\, resources and new developments across science\, health\, medicine\, and environment\, including private breakout discussions with experts and trainers;\n\n\n\nTwo years’ membership (new or extended) in AHCJ\, SEJ and NASW\, assuming membership qualifications are met;\n\n\n\nRegistration to any virtual events held during the program year by AHCJ\, SEJ or CASW;\n\n\n\nMentoring opportunities with a senior journalist in a topic area of choice;\n\n\n\nPrivate online site for fellows to refer to training materials\, share reporting efforts and network with one another;\n\n\n\nFor freelancers\, a reporting project support stipend of $2\,000 after successfully completing the program.\n\n\n\n\nAnticipated schedule\n\n\n\nTentative dates and sites (including whether in-person or virtual)\, depending upon public health recommendations: \n\n\n\n\nKick-off seminar\, Oct. 6-7\, 2022 (to be held via Zoom)\n\n\n\nScienceWriters2022\, Memphis\, Tenn.\, Oct. 21-25\, 2022\n\n\n\nHealth Journalism 2023\, St. Louis\, Mo.\, March 9-12\, 2023\n\n\n\nSEJ2023\, Boise\, Idaho\, April 19-23\, 2023\n\n\n\nCustom webinar briefings held periodically through the year\n\n\n\nCareer development seminar and graduation (June or July 2023)\n\n\n\n\nApplication checklist \n\n\n\n\nCover letter introducing yourself\, your journalism background\, efforts at career development\, and explaining why you are seeking the fellowship.\n\n\n\nA current resume or CV.\n\n\n\nA letter of recommendation from your current employer that addresses the benefits of the fellowship to you and the news organization’s audience as well as the employer’s commitment to support your full participation in the fellowship. Freelance applicants should submit a letter of recommendation from a regular client or assigning editor who can speak to your abilities and the value you would derive from participating.\n\n\n\nTwo sample news or feature stories published or aired during the past 12 months.\n\n\n\n\nThe application deadline is Sept. 1\, 2022\, at 6 p.m. ET\, 5 p.m. CT\, 3 p.m. PT.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Covering the lawsuit that could limit free preventive care
DESCRIPTION:12 p.m. ET Wednesday\, May 10 \nOne of the biggest health care stories of 2023 will break when the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas rules in the case of Braidwood Management v. Becerra. In this challenge to provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA)\, Christian-owned businesses and six individuals in Texas assert that the ACA’s requirements to cover preventive services without requiring patients to pay some of the costs of care is unconstitutional. If the court rules in the plaintiffs’ favor\, Americans may need to pay more for preventive health care. \nTo learn more about the implications of the lawsuit\, A. Mark Fendrick\, M.D.\, one of the nation’s leading experts on how cost-sharing harms patients\, joined AHCJ for a webcast on May 10. Fendrick explained how journalists can cover this story and how\, if the plaintiffs succeed on either constitutional or religious grounds\, it could limit or restrict the government’s ability to require health insurers and employers to cover evidence-based preventive services without cost-sharing. \nWatch the Recording  \nA. Mark Fendrick\, M.D. \nJoseph Burns \n A. Mark Fendrick\, M.D.\, is the founder and director of the Value-Based Insurance Design Center at the University of Michigan. He is also a professor of internal medicine in the university’s School of Medicine and a professor of Health Management and Policy in the university’s School of Public Health. A practicing physician\, Fendrick has seen how requiring consumers to pay for preventive health services causes patients to disregard physicians’ orders because they cannot afford to do so\, leading to adverse effects on patients’ health. Since founding the VBID in 2005\, Fendrick has advised Congress\, employers\, health plans and federal agencies on the need to eliminate patient cost-sharing. \nAdditional resources\n\nNo-Cost Preventive Services Are Now in Jeopardy.

SUMMARY:Webinar: What journalists should know about avian flu and pandemic preparedness
DESCRIPTION:2 p.m. ET Thursday\, May 18 \nThe global COVID-19 public health emergency was declared over by the World Health Organization\, but public health officials need to remain vigilant for the next one.

At the end of May\, the federal government is launching the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility to monitor and respond to biological threats involving human\, zoonotic and foreign animal diseases. \nAmbika Bumb\, deputy executive director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense\, will talk about what reporters need to know about zoonotic threats\, the biodefense of animal agriculture\, and the reasons to keep writing about pandemic preparedness\, particularly given legislation pending in Congress this year. She will also speak to what kind of government plan is required to reduce the risk of another global pandemic in the near future. \nView Ambika Bumb’s presentation \nMeeting ID: 993 6565 0877Passcode: 404320 \nWatch the recording  \nAmbika Bumb\, Ph.D. \nBara Vaida \nAmbika Bumb\, Ph.D.\, is deputy executive director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense.
