The Society of Professional Journalists’ “Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship is intended to enable a mid-career journalist who specializes in fact-based commentary or analysis to have time away from daily responsibilities to pursue in-depth reporting projects.

“The Pulliam Fellowship awards up to $100,000 to outstanding editorial writers, columnists or reporters to help broaden their journalistic horizons and knowledge of the world. The award can be used to cover the cost of study, research and/or travel.”

Past fellows have explored topics including AI, climate change, medical testing, medical misinformation, the dangerous effects of the little-known mineral pyrrhotite and other science-related issues.
