Fellowships and Grants
The Lab at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Investigative Journalist Fellowship, Harvard University
Eligibility: The ideal candidate has a minimum of 5 years of investigative reporting experience, though those with less experience will be considered.
Deadline: February 1, 2012
From the Website: "Launched in 2010, the Lab is a five-year research project to study the phenomenon of 'institutional corruption.' 'Institutional corruption' refers not to bribery, or other familiar violations of law or ethics. It refers instead to influences within an economy of influence that tend to (1) weaken the effectiveness of an institution, especially by (2) weakening public trust of the institution. The institutions within which the Lab is exploring these phenomena include any significant public institution that depends for its success in part at least upon a substantial level of public trust. Such institutions can be either public or private, and if private, then either for-profit or not-for-profit. They include among others the academy, public health institutions, the financial services industry, the elected state judiciary, media (public and private), and Congress."
