1. [NEW] The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism - For Experienced Journalists
This opportunity provides experienced journalists (with at least five years of professional journalism experience) with grants up to $15,000 and the editorial support needed to produce deeply reported enterprise and investigative stories with a strong economic, financial, or business angle. You don’t need to be a business reporter to apply — many of the previous Fellows have been generalists, or cover beats such as health care, education, or the environment. Others have focused on issues such as economic inequality or corporate accountability.
Given the major changes in federal spending and policy priorities coming out of the new administration in Washington, DC, the McGraw Center for Business Journalism is particularly interested in story proposals that examine their impact. The Fellowship provides a grant of up to $15,000 for each project. The exact amount will depend on the time needed to complete the project and the expenses involved.
Deadline: October 12, 2026
2. [NEW] NPF 2026 Rare Diseases Reporting Fellowship and Grants - For Journalists
As biotechnology marches toward revolutionary treatments and cures for complex medical conditions, the daily realities for people living with rare diseases and their families can dampen hope. As advocacy and research converge to deliver solutions, the need for greater visibility of rare diseases is becoming more urgent. In many countries, healthcare infrastructure and policies must be strengthened to address persistent gaps in access and knowledge.
To help international journalists amplify these issues, the National Press Foundation is providing a week of free online training for professional journalists in any medium. This fifth in a series of journalism fellowships, made possible with support from Fondation Ipsen, will consist of on-the-record briefings and question-and-answer sessions with top experts, including topics such as rare disease research on the African continent, AI-driven drug development, childhood genetic testing and screening, and the need for more inclusive clinical trials. Journalists will also hear from leaders of global patient advocacy groups and veteran journalists.
In addition, NPF will offer up to $2,000 in reporting grants to 20 journalists to cover travel expenses and time in executing a rare disease project of their choosing. Fellows who require and qualify for a reporting grant will receive $1,000 upon completion of the training and another $1,000 upon submission of their work, which must be published no later than March 1, 2027.
Deadline: October 22, 2026
