NASW 2023 Peggy Girshman Idea Grant Program

Published: 22 Dec 2022 1,499 views

NASW invites proposals from individuals or groups for grants of up to $15,000 to support projects and programs that will help science writers in their professional lives and benefit the field of science writing. Projects must be aligned with NASW’s mission, and should be accessible to U.S.-based science writers.

The Grants Committee encourages creative thinking, and so, as in past years, the guidelines for Idea Grant proposals are consciously broad. However, the committee prioritizes applications that propose novel projects, events, or resources that the NASW grants program has not supported in the past.
