About USC Annenberg California Health Equity Fellowship 2024

Our California Fellowship is designed to support reporters in the Golden State pursuing ambitious, enterprising projects on overlooked health and health equity issues. You decide what stories need to be told in your community to improve health outcomes and we work to support you.

Fellows join us for a busy week of in-person training and discussion on the USC Annenberg campus, where they learn from nationally renowned health experts, policy analysts and community health leaders, from top journalists in the field, and from each other. That’s followed by ongoing mentoring and virtual meetings to support Fellows across the finish line.

Program Details

Our program strongly emphasises how environmental and community conditions can influence how long and how well we live. The program helps fellows craft projects that engage communities from the start and shares hard-won insights on how to land big projects that deliver maximum impact on the health and well-being of communities.

  • A $2,000-$10,000 grant to help with reporting costs
