The Center for Health Journalism's Impact Fund for Reporting on Equity in Health and Health Care supports ambitious investigative and explanatory projects on inequities in health care and the practice of medicine. 

Journalists play a critical role in uncovering the systemic and structural forces that shape health and well-being for individuals, families, and communities. This Fund supports ambitious journalism that exposes chronic inequities in public health and health care systems and identifies pathways for change. From maternal health deserts and rural hospital closures to changing access to reproductive health care and vaccines, we support reporting that brings a strong health equity lens to the most urgent health stories of the day. 

We are especially interested in projects that investigate the barriers to high-quality care and the policies and conditions in health systems that perpetuate unequal outcomes.

Grantees receive:

• A $2,000-$10,000 grant to help with reporting costs
• Five months of professional mentorship from a veteran journalist
• Monthly online development and brainstorming sessions with other reporters in their class
• Four webinars devoted to equity in health and health care
