 Description:

Fellowships to USA journalists to support research and reporting on current issues. Fellows will have opportunities for networking and project development. Funding is intended to provide professional journalists with time and resources for an original project, while fostering relationships with social scientists. The residential fellowship takes place at the Russell Sage Foundation headquarters in New York.

There is a long, rich history of journalists writing and reporting compellingly about topics related to the Russell Sage Foundation’s (RSF) mission to improve the social and living conditions in the United States. The growth of economic inequality and its consequences, inequities in educational achievement and attainment, the impact of modern immigration, and recent racial tensions over urban policing are all examples of topics addressed by journalists that are central to RSF programs, and which have been the subject of study by RSF scholars and grantees. In conducting original research on a wide range of social, political, and economic conditions and presenting those findings to the public, journalists are critical to public understanding of Americans’ lives and lived experiences.
