Say the organisers "The Aftermath Project's mission is to support photographic projects that tell the other half of the story of conflict - the story of what it takes for individuals to learn to live again, to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies, to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace."

Grant is available to working photographers world-wide who are interested in creating work that "helps illuminate aftermath issues, and encourages greater public understanding and discussion of these issues."

Says the Institute: In forty-four years, four hundred and eighty eight journalists from ninety four countries have benefited from the WPI experience. The four-month fellowship involves " an arduous three-month journey across the U.S., with briefings, interviews and visitations in nearly half the states in the nation."

Selection is by competitive process. Each year, between one and two hundred journalists outside the U.S. apply by the Dec. 31 deadline. The program generally runs from August to mid-November.
