Author Training Program

author training program

Writing and publishing original research articles describing are crucial to get the word out about your team's research. However, publishing in peer-reviewed journals is highly-competitive, and can be difficult for researchers without access to training.

To address this challenge, we launched the Author Training Program, which provides manuscript development and author support services to authors who are part of large, grant-funded research projects.

Authors receive intensive, onsite or virtual training in writing and publishing and multiple rounds of scientific peer review for their manuscript. Authors also receive trainings on topics including designing effective visuals, writing conference abstracts, and preparing presentations for academic conferences.

Meet some of our past authors here and see a current list of papers published by author training program participants.

PARTNER WITH US

PREPSS partners organizations must meet the following criteria:

We partner with institutions (e.g. grant-funded research projects, academic institutions, etc.) rather than individual authors
Typically affiliated with research teams based in low- or middle-income countries (LMICs)
Researchers should be preparing an original research manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal
Ideal for first-time or early-career authors who may lack access to formal writing or publishing support
Willingness to participate in virtual or in-person training sessions (if applicable)
Willingness to engage in multiple rounds of pre-publication peer review

Partner Spotlight

As part of our Author Training Program, we are proud to partner with the Center for the Assessment of Tobacco Regulations (CAsToR), which aims to provide evidence-based and expert-informed modeling of the behavioral and public health impacts of tobacco regulations. They are a multi-institutional organization funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). CAsToR provides a comprehensive approach for showing the population impacts of FDA regulations on tobacco control to evaluate the potential health and behavioral impacts of individual and combined regulations, as well as providing modeling capabilities on a rapid response basis.
