The EurekAlert! Travel Awards for International Science Reporters are designed to promote and recognize excellence in science journalism on a global scale, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries.
This program offers support in the form of travel funding and assistance to early-career science, technology, and health journalists so they can attend the AAAS Annual Meeting. This travel provides access to the latest research news, networking opportunities with other journalists, as well as a chance to share their experiences with peers from around the world.
Formerly known as the EurekAlert! Fellowships for International Science Reporters, these awards have been given to over 80 science journalists from diverse regions such as Africa, Central and South America, the Middle East, India, China, and the Balkans.
In 2004, the program commenced with the initial assistance of a grant provided by the William T. Golden Endowment Fund for Program Innovation. Presently, it receives sponsorship from EurekAlert!, an independent science news distribution platform managed by the nonprofit American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
