The International Reporting Project (IRP) Grants on Global Health Reporting

The International Reporting Project (IRP) is offering up to 5 "IRP Fellowships in Global Health Reporting" in the spring of 2011. US journalists interested in covering global health stories are invited to apply for 9-week reporting grants offered by this Washington DC, United States (US)-based organisation to cover global health stories such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, maternal and child health, and scientific research aimed at reducing the impact of global diseases.

US journalists with at least 5 years' experience in any media are eligible to apply for the grants, which are part of the IRP's programmes, which are designed to encourage in-depth global coverage in the US media. The reporting grants provide 4 weeks in Washington and 5 weeks overseas in the country of the applicant's choice.
