NASW Peggy Girshman Idea Grants Requirements

• The committee welcomes proposals from journalists, editors, PIOs, staff, freelancers, producers, managers, and others across media professions. Being a member of NASW is not a requirement, though applicants should demonstrate an understanding of the goals and mission of the organization.
• Applicants located outside of the United States may apply, but all proposals must demonstrate a clear benefit to U.S.-based science writers.

Application Date and Process

The Grants Committee encourages creative thinking, and so, as in past years, the guidelines for Idea Grant proposals are consciously broad. However, the committee prioritizes applications that propose novel projects, events, or resources that the NASW grants program has not supported in the past. Successful past applications have demonstrated how funded work will be sustained beyond the award period. Submit your proposal through Submittable by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, April 4, 2025.
