The International Reporting Project (IRP) offers fellowships to up to 10 journalists to travel and report from abroad for five weeks. Deadline to apply is April 1.

The fellowship also includes two weeks of training in Washington both before and after the reporting trip. The program runs this year from Aug. 26 to Oct. 29. Stories produced can run on your own media outlet and on the project’s Web site.

According to its Web site: “Since the program was created in 1998, more than 160 U.S. journalists have been awarded IRP Fellowships to report from more than 90 countries around the world. A chief aim of the program is to encourage journalists to cover neglected, ‘under-reported’ stories of global importance.”

The project is based at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University in Washington. For more information and an application, go to http://www.internationalreportingproject.org/about/fellowships/.
