“Our California Fellowship is designed to support reporters in the Golden State pursuing ambitious, enterprising projects on overlooked health and health equity issues. You decide what stories need to be told in your community to improve health outcomes and we work to support you.”

Here are a few broad reporting themes that are supported in fellowship proposals:

• Systemic racism and the root causes of health inequities
• How food insecurity, economic stability and meeting basic needs can influence health and well-being for families or communities
• How well justice systems, schools or health systems serve families or communities – and who is left out or disproportionately harmed
• Housing insecurity in California – the scope of the problem and potential solutions
• Accountability journalism on whether healthcare and social welfare systems are serving populations in need
