These grants support a fellowship program at the University of Cambridge for journalists, writers, and editors interested in topics at the intersection of science and religion. In addition to participating in seminars led by a wide range of scientists and theologians, the fellows also pursue a course of independent research into a specific area of professional interest. The goal is to promote a deeper understanding and more informed public discussion of this complex and rapidly evolving area of inquiry.
