You're invited to the next Center for Health Services Research, Implementation Science, and Policy (CHRISP) seminar workshop “Paper Sprint: Reimagining the Academic Writing Process" on Friday, April 14th at 9am-11am in the Healthy Kentucky Research Building (Room 110) on campus.
The CHRISP presenter is Michael Thompson, PhD, MPH, Assistant Professor of Cardiac Surgery Section of Health Services Research and Quality at the University of Michigan School of Medicine
CHRISP is a campus-wide research center at the University of Kentucky. Their mission is to facilitate high-impact research to identify the most effective ways to organize, finance and deliver high-quality health care.
CHRISP's vision is to serve as a focal point across the UK campus for health services research, bringing together faculty, staff, students and trainees from across disciplines and colleges to advance the science of health and healthcare delivery.
Presentation Abstract:
Writing academic papers can be a long, arduous process that takes months to accomplish. Does it have to be this way?!
The “paper sprint” reimagines the academic writing process into a quick and collaborative effort that can reduce the time from idea to first submission. This seminar will walk through the basics of running a paper sprint so that you can apply this method in your own lab.
