Freelance journalists working on investigative projects can apply for a US$1,000 fellowship.

Investigative Reporters and Editors awards fellowships to journalists who make their living primarily as freelancers.

Proposals will be judged in part on the breadth, significance and potential impact of the investigative project. Topics including whistleblowers, business ethics and/or privacy issues will receive priority.

The freelance projects must be published or aired primarily in U.S. outlets. Winners will be announced at the annual IRE Conference.

The application deadline is April 15.
