Logan Science Journalism Program

The Logan Science Journalism Program, founded in 1986, offers science journalists, writers, editors, and broadcast journalists a chance to forget about story deadlines and immerse themselves in basic biomedical or environmental research.

Eligibility

To qualify for the Logan Science Journalism Program:

• Applicants must be professional science journalists, writers, editors, or producers with at least five years experience. Preference will be given to applicants who do not have significant prior scientific research experience. A basic knowledge of biological principles and methods is advantageous, but is not essential.
• Journalists who previously participated in the Biomedical Hands-On Research Course are eligible to apply for the Environmental Hands-On Research Course, and vice versa.
• Applicants from underrepresented sectors are strongly encouraged. Foreign nationals are eligible to apply. If accepted into the program, foreign nationals must hold or obtain a visa to enter the U.S.

Costs Covered

Financial support for Logan Science Journalism Program Fellows includes travel to and from Woods Hole, housing, meals, and all costs associated with the Hands-On Research Course and other program activities. Foreign nationals who are accepted into the program must secure a visa and will be reimbursed for visa fees.
