AEJMC offers grants for journalism research [US, Canada]

Journalism educators can apply for a grant to research a timely and innovative topic in mass communication.

The Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) offers the Emerging Scholars Program and Senior Scholars Grants. The organization will award up to four US$3,500 research and teaching grants to AEJMC members, in addition to up to two US$5,000 grants to senior scholars.

The program seeks junior faculty members without tenure or media professionals who recently began full-time work at a university. Each scholar will be paired with a mentor to provide guidance throughout the project.

AEJMC will showcase initial results from 2019 grants during a session at its 2019 conference in Toronto, Canada. In addition to the grant, scholars will receive US$500 to assist with travel expenses to the conference.

The deadline is Oct. 1.
