Each fellow will be awarded up to $10,000 or a prorated amount based on individual project needs, to cover travel and research expenses. Where possible, the fellow's news organization will be actively encouraged to supplement the fellowship award.  Applicants will need to submit a budget outline broadly defining the costs associated with their proposed project and which parts of their project would require funding from the fellowship. List the various categories associated with the cost of the project—such as travel (air, train, car), accommodation, meals, production, translation, editing, telephone, and/or project materials—and provide an estimated cost for each category.  For example, travel to abc countries, states, or cities to interview abc projects or experts, at an estimated cost of approximately abc dollars (or other currencies); accommodations and meals in abc countries, states, or cities at an estimated cost of approximately abc dollars (or other currencies);

Note that the maximum amount for the award is US$10,000; projects requiring less money will receive special attention.
