“We provide Alicia Patterson Fellowships for six months (paying $20,000) or 12 months (paying $40,000) for in-depth written reporting. The fellowship application opens in May and proposals are due Oct. 1 every year, with decisions in early January. We began providing these fellowships after the Alicia Patterson Foundation merged into the Fund for Investigative Journalism.

“Reporting projects must be for print/online publication (i.e., written projects), and they must be U.S. focused. Fellows aren’t required to live in the U.S., but the reporting project must be focused on the U.S., for publication in U.S. outlets. … The fellowship is for seasoned reporters who already have a body of in-depth, written reporting work.”
