Grants for Individuals - Private

The Pulitzer Center is offering the Truth Decay Grant Initiative for journalists and newsrooms interested in addressing science misinformation, science denial, and the spread of pseudoscience. The initiative aims to expose those responsible for spreading misinformation and support journalists in developing innovative responses to combat mistruths. They are particularly interested in proposals that explore the reasons behind the spread of scientific misinformation, the challenges of reporting on science in today's media landscape, the creators and beneficiaries of misinformation, and unique perspectives on pseudoscience and misinformation in society. The initiative is open to U.S. residents and journalists worldwide, and they encourage applications from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. The grants do not cover expenses such as books, feature-length films, staff salaries, equipment purchases, general expenses, start-up funding, routine breaking news coverage, advocacy/marketing campaigns, or data projects solely for academic research.
