SUMMARY:Application deadline: AHCJ Reporting Fellowships on Health Performance
DESCRIPTION: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 or national in scope\, or a little of both — say an aspect of the Affordable Care Act playing out in your community or subject specialty\, or the impact of particular evidence-based treatments on health outcomes\, or an analysis of a health care organization’s performance\, using public data sets. Fellows pursue the projects with the support of their newsrooms or freelance outlets\, which commit to publish or air the work.  \nGuidance is provided by AHCJ fellowship leaders through customized seminars on health care systems\, conference calls and email consultations. The fellowship covers the cost of attending the seminars and AHCJ conferences\, and a project allowance is available to defray the cost of field reporting\, health data analysis and other project-related research. In addition\, each fellow will receive a $2\,500 fellowship award upon the successful completion of the project. \nExtended deadline!\nBecause of power outages and other woes brought upon the East Coast by Hurricane Sandy\, AHCJ has extended the deadline for applications by a few days. New deadline: Nov. 12 \n• Understanding and applying for the fellowship
