NOVA Media Fellowship

The Nova Media Fellowship program supports outstanding print, digital, and/or broadcast journalists and nonprofit newsrooms who are reporting on the complex, intertwined factors that affect health and well-being.

The Media Fellowship program provides journalists an opportunity to explore a broad vision of health and well-being and the inadequacy of a health framework that focuses primarily on disease. Media Fellows can play an important role in translating research findings and analyses for a range of audiences, combining data with stories that inform the public and engage policymakers in order to change attitudes. 

In 2025-26, Nova will support four exemplary proposals exploring health, well-being, and our ability to flourish and live a fulfilling life. Media Fellows will each receive $60,000 disbursed over 12 months, with up to an additional $7,500 reimbursed for expenses such as travel and conference fees.
