Medill and Biohub Fellowship and Reporting Project

Medill and Biohub, an organization combining frontier AI and frontier biology to cure, prevent and manage all disease, are offering a fellowship and funding for reporting projects to graduate journalism students in the Health, Environment and Science specialization.

One student will receive a fellowship and up to 10 additional students each year will receive funding for reporting projects about the latest scientific and health research. The program will amplify science reporting on pioneering health research underway at and beyond Biohub in Chicago.

Medill students will write stories as reporters for Mediahub Medill, created with the grant support in a class dedicated to the forefronts of science reporting. Each student selected will receive $1,000 to produce health-related stories that cover the trail-blazing science, technology transfer, community partnerships and education initiatives, hallmarks of research at Biohub in Chicago. These multimedia stories will be pitched to prominent media outlets.

To apply for the fellowship or the reporting funding, prospective students should apply to the Medill Master of Science in Journalism program, and specify they will pursue the Health, Environment and Science Specialization.
