Kaiser Offers Global Health Mini-Fellowships

Want to cover global health issues in greater depth but can't get your boss to cough up the money to send you to China, India or Zambia or you can't afford to bankroll the trip on your own?

The Kaiser Family Foundation has just launched a new awards program of up to ten mini-fellowships--worth as much as $10,000 each--for journalists from North America or Europe interested in doing substantive reporting on topics such as AIDS, TB or malaria. The deadline for applications is November 1, 2007 and reporting needs to be completed by Dec. 31, 2008.
