Initiative for diversity in investigative reporting on social justice open [US]

Women and journalists of color working in any type of media can apply for a reporting grant.

The Fund for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) and the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University organize an initiative for diversity in social justice investigative reporting.

Selected journalists will receive up to US$10,000 to cover the expenses of reporting a specific investigative story, covering costs such as travel, document fees, equipment rentals and small stipends.

Recipients will also be awarded Schuster Institute fellowships, which will give them access to research assistance, Brandeis University’s library and technology services, mentoring, editorial guidance and media-related legal advice from a major New York firm. 

Applicants must submit a proposal to investigate a significant systemic or social justice issue.

The deadline is Nov. 1.
