Applicants
should submit a well-focused story proposal of no more than three pages through
the accompanying online form. Think of it as pitch, much like you would
submit to an editor at a newspaper, magazine, digital outlet, or radio station:
give us enough preliminary reporting and documentation to demonstrate that the
story is solid. The proposal should highlight what’s new and significant about
the story, why it matters and what its potential impact might be. The proposal

elsewhere and how the proposed piece would differ. Applicants should also
briefly outline a proposed reporting plan and a timeline for completing the
story, and let us know if a media outlet is lined up to run the story.
