NASW 2023 Peggy Girshman Idea Grant Program


NASW invites proposals from individuals or groups for grants of up to $15,000 to support projects and programs that will help science writers in their professional lives and benefit the field of science writing. Projects must be aligned with  NASW’s mission, and should be accessible to U.S.-based science writers.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Applicants need not be NASW members, and the committee welcomes proposals from all PIOs, journalists, freelance writers, and other interested parties.
  • Applicants located outside of the United States may apply, but all proposals must demonstrate a clear benefit to U.S.-based science writers.

Offered Benefits

  •  Grants of up to $15,000

Application Process

  • Applicants are encouraged to learn more about the program,  review past awards, and read selected proposals from past projects. Before submitting a proposal, please also review our list of  Do’s and Don’ts.
  •   Submit your proposal  by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023.
