The Ferriss-UC Berkeley Psychedelic Journalism Fellowship offers ten $10,000 reporting grants per year to journalists reporting in-depth print and audio stories on the science, policy, business and culture of this new era of psychedelics.

In addition to underwriting individual stories, the Fellowship aims to establish and nurture a new generation of journalists covering the frontlines of this rapidly changing field.  We’re looking for big, underreported, narratively compelling stories placed in rich political, economic, scientific, and cultural contexts.

We are committed to supporting journalists from diverse backgrounds and of all nationalities.

The fellowship is a project of the U.C. Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics.

Applications are due January 31, 2026.
