SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Tarbell Grants for AI Journalism

We primarily fund written journalism but are open to supporting other formats. \n“This round\, we’re seeking applications across six focus areas: \n\nAccountability reporting on frontier AI companies\nAI policy and politics\nAI explainers and analysis\nAI in government and militaries\nAI labor impacts\nAI developments in China”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: The Invisible Life Grant
DESCRIPTION:“This programme supports cross-border teams of professional journalists and/or news outlets investigating issues related to farm animal welfare and European interests\, both within and beyond Europe. \n“This is not simply an animal welfare story. It connects to regulation and supply chain transparency\, to scientific research on animal cognition and sentience\, to public health\, and to the environmental pressures that intensive livestock and fish farming place on ecosystems. Yet it attracts relatively little journalistic attention\, and even less philanthropic or research funding. \n“Two application rounds are scheduled for this grant programme in 2026.” \nDeadlines: \n\nAugust 27\, 2026\nOctober 29\, 2026\n\n“The total available amount per call to be distributed among all supported investigations is €150\,000. \n“The grant can cover working time and expenses such as logistics\, travel\, insurance\, access to legal support\, translations\, access to technology and data sets\, etc. \n“Next to financial support\, teams can also apply for an experienced mentor to provide assistance with either the focus of the investigation or the need for competences in a specific skill.” \n\nAnnouncement\nInfo webinar: June 30\, 2026 @ 2-3 p.m. CET // 8-9 a.m. EDT

SUMMARY:13th Heidelberg Laureate Forum
DESCRIPTION:Travel grants are available for journalists to cover the 13th Heidelberg Laureate Forum. \n“The HLF is an annual networking conference where 200 carefully selected young researchers in mathematics and computer science have the unique chance to meet distinguished scientists in their fields for one week of interdisciplinary academic dialogue. The vibrant atmosphere of the event inspires a blend of scientific discussion and informal interactions among the participants\, setting the HLF apart from traditional conferences. Panel discussions\, lectures and workshops spur scientifically driven debate\, which is then balanced by a variety of social events\, permitting participants to pursue their discourse in an inviting environment. \n“Attending journalists will have the exclusive opportunity to interview renowned laureates from mathematics and computer science\, both in press panels and one-on-one. In addition\, they will be able to engage directly with some of the most promising young researchers from those fields. Journalists are permitted to take part in virtually all of the Forum’s scientific program elements as well as social gatherings in the evenings. Opportunities will also be provided for journalists to network and collaborate with their peers in the press corps. \n“Grants cover travel and visa costs as well as room and board during the stay in Heidelberg. \n“Journalists who do not receive a travel grant or who have missed the travel grant application deadline [of April 8] may nevertheless apply for accreditation to cover the Forum at their own expense.”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism

SUMMARY:Crash Course: Beyond the Basics of Science Reporting
DESCRIPTION:“Science reporting requires walking a line between emphasizing the importance of findings or overselling those findings\, contributing to misplaced hope or fanning exaggerated fears. This free\, one-hour [intermediate-level] course—designed for reporters covering science either occasionally or full-time—teaches basic principles about recognizing science worth reporting on and doing it justice in your coverage. \n“The webinar will help you sort through and weigh conflicting evidence to make sure you’re accurately representing the state of the science on any given topic.”
