Journalists interested in learning more about covering lung health issues can apply for this fellowship.

The National Press Foundation is offering all-expenses-paid fellowships for journalists to learn about lung health issues and cover the 44th Union World Conference on Tuberculosis and Lung Health, in Paris, France.

The training and conference will cover lung health and related issues, including tuberculosis, TB/HIV, asthma, COPD, diabetes, tobacco control and the impact of air pollution. Journalists will learn about these diseases, the extent and impact of the problems they present and the new research, solutions and innovations that are in the pipeline.

Fellowships cover conference registration, round-trip air and train travel, hotel accommodation and per diem. Selected journalists must have at least three years of reporting experience that includes health coverage.

Training will be held Oct. 29-31, and journalists will participate in the conference through Nov. 3.

The deadline for applications is July 22.
