The Visiting Journalists Fellowship provides journalists the time and resources needed to carry out an original project focused on social, economic, or political conditions in the United States. RSF provides an environment where journalists and social scientists can interact with the goal of making journalistic work more informed and social science research more valuable and accessible to the public. Fellows receive a stipend of $8,000 per month for full-time visits of up to three months and are provided with an office at the Foundation, computers and software, library access, and limited research assistance.
