The grants can be used to cover costs related to research, fieldwork, interviews, data collection, travel, equipment and any other expenses that will enable journalists to complete their stories to the highest standard.

Grantees will also have access to mentorship from senior journalists within ACME’s network.

The deadline is May 9.
