2020 Data Fellowship Community Engagement Grant Application |
The USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism is offering up to three community engagement grants to 2020 Data 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. New this year, the Center is working with Subtext to sponsor one Data fellow to use the texting software to connect with their communities. If you're interested in this opportunity, make sure to tell us how it'd enhance your reporting and engagement process in your application below. To learn more about the Center's engagement grant program, check out this blog post. Please note: only California Data Fellows can apply for an engagement grant.
We have piloted these efforts with reporters from all over the country with exciting results. Past projects include: using local news call-outs and asking and answering community questions to help people learn how to protect their health on bad air days; creating a Facebook group and hosting a series of Instagram Live chats to pass the mic to Black parents and birth workers to discuss what care should look like for Black, birthing parents; designing powerful conversations to help a rural community talk about suicide; using snail mail and hosting community listening sessions to help older adults and their caregivers curb elder abuse.
