Journalists who make their living primarily as independent journalists can apply for a grant.
Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) is accepting applications for its Freelance Fellowship, which aims to give independent journalists a boost in the pursuit of their investigative work.
Proposals dealing with whistleblowers, business ethics and/or privacy issues will receive priority; projects involving other topics may receive consideration as well.
For long-term projects, the fellowship provides up to US$4,000 and up to US$2,000 for short-term projects. In addition, fellows will receive IRE membership for one year.
The deadline is Sept. 23.
