Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 011 01072022
The grant opportunity titled "Professional Development for Health Reporters" is a U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Pakistan cooperative agreement focused on strengthening health journalism capacity in Punjab, Pakistan. The project is designed to train 30 mid-level journalists drawn from prominent Pakistani traditional and electronic media outlets, with a specific emphasis on improving their ability to report on healthcare issues in English. A central theme of the training is better, more accurate coverage of urgent public health topics, especially the coronavirus pandemic, with the broader goal of helping the public receive clearer and more informative health reporting.
The program is structured in two main phases. First, participants complete an eight-week Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) intended to sharpen their English language skills, which is treated as a foundation for the second phase. After the MOOC, the project moves into a series of workshops that focus on the practical craft of reporting on health-related issues. Taken together, the two parts are meant to build both language competence and subject-matter reporting skills so participants can produce stronger, more accessible health journalism in English.
In terms of approach and target audience, the opportunity highlights inclusivity as a core feature. While it prioritizes mid-level journalists based in Punjab, it also explicitly seeks a diverse cohort, including journalists from minority and under-represented groups within the Punjab-based media landscape. The description also notes the value of improved reporting that includes uncensored narratives, framing better health journalism as a public good that can support a healthier society by helping people understand risks, responses, and healthcare realities more clearly.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and will be awarded as a cooperative agreement, meaning the funding agency is likely to have an ongoing role or collaboration in how the project is carried out rather than simply providing a one-time grant with minimal involvement. The program is associated with CFDA number 19.501 and is categorized under a broader "Other" funding activity classification. The award ceiling is $30,000, with an expectation of one award, indicating a single implementing organization will likely be selected to run the training for the full cohort.
The opportunity was created on January 7, 2022, with an original application closing date of March 9, 2022. The project is flexible in delivery format, allowing it to be implemented online, in a hybrid model, or fully in person, depending on practical considerations and available resources.Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 011 01072022
