2020 California Fellowship Community Engagement Grant Application |
The USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism is offering up to five special community engagement grants to 2020 California Fellows. Each grantee will receive $1,000 to $2,000 to support their community engagement efforts, as well as mentoring on engagement strategies over six months. Interested reporters can learn more about the grant program by reading this blog post.
We have piloted these efforts with reporters from all over the country with exciting results. Past projects include: creating a public-facing call-out to learn how poor air quality is affecting the health of a Central Coast community; designing powerful conversations to help a rural community tackle suicide; a collaborative effort between newsrooms and nonprofits in Arizona to prevent infant deaths and injuries in poorly installed car seats; a series of listening strategies to engage teens in a series on sex education; using snail mail to reach and invite new audiences to a forum on the black infant mortality crisis; and a crowdsourcing campaign to incorporate community perspectives about a physician shortage.
