Deadline: June 28, 2024

Applications are open for the Rosalynn Carter Mental Health and Climate Change Fellowship 2024-2025. The Carter Center is pleased to announce a new topic-based fellowship, aimed at exploring the mental health impacts of climate change in low-socioeconimic countries. This opportunity — for the 2024-2025 fellowship year — is open to journalists living outside the U.S.

Created by former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, a longtime champion for the rights of people with mental illnesses, The Carter Center’s Mental Health Program works to promote awareness about mental health issues, inform public policy, achieve equity for mental health care comparable to other health care, and reduce stigma and discrimination against those with mental illnesses.

Eligibility

Applicants must:

  • Be from and located in a country outside of the United States, identified as low-socioeconomic level.
  • Have at least three years of professional experience in journalism (writing, reporting, editing, producing, filmmaking, et al). Projects are tailored to fellows’ experience and interests and should be relevant to the dynamic mental health and substance use landscape in their country or coverage area. Fellows employed full-time are not required to leave their jobs. Preference is given to journalists who work with or for a media outlet that expresses support for and commitment to publishing or broadcasting fellowship projects.
  • Have a strong interest in the impacts of climate change on mental health and reporting on related topics. Previous mental health reporting experience is not required.
  • Attend mandatory, expense-paid Fellowship Training Meetings in September at the beginning and end of the fellowship year at The Carter Center in Atlanta. The next meeting will be held September 16-17, 2024.

    Application

    Submit a completed application with letters of support and recommendation. Due to the timing of this fellowship, letters will be accepted beyond June 28.

    The following application materials are required:

    • Proposed project title. One to two sentences on the proposed topic and title of your project.
    • Summary of proposed project. A short paragraph describing the issue you would like to report on, why you have selected that issue and what you hope to achieve with your reporting. (1,000-character limit)
    • Previous awards or fellowships related to journalism. (1,000-character limit)
    • Resume that includes media organizations for which you have worked or produced work, professional memberships, and other achievements.
    • Informal essay (1,000-word maximum)
    • Work Sample
    • Letters of recommendation
    • Letter of support from media outlet
