THE NATIONAL SCIENCE-HEALTH-ENVIRONMENT REPORTING FELLOWSHIPS The program is intended to support early-career journalists who are pursuing or have a strong interest in pursuing careers reporting on science, health, or environmental issues (or all three). The fellowship is designed to enable fellows to maintain their regular employment while attending concentrated training opportunities across the country, many of which will lead to stories for their employer or clients. Fellowship leaders and mentors will provide support and guidance through seminars, calls and e-mail consultations.
