THE World Federation of Science Journalists is accepting applications for the Louise Behan reporting grant.
The grant aims to enhance reporters career and the quality of science journalism in their country.
These objectives are aligned with the work of Louise Behan, who spent her career with Canada’s International Development Research Centre and provided money from her estate to create this grant programme.
Stories can be in print, radio, television or online, but must meet the basic criteria of science journalism.
Stories should emphasise themes of science, technology or medicine.
Journalists from the Global South with an interest in science reporting can apply for a grant.
Two or three awards between US$750 and US$1,000 will be awarded to successful applicants.
Applicants must be from lower-income countries.
The deadline for the submission of applications is July 15, 2024.
Interested applicants can apply here.
An international panel of science journalists will review entries and successful applicants will be announced by September 2, 2024.
