Group Paper Requirement

Writing the Group Paper

What is the group paper?

  • The group paper is a summary of the recipients' summaries. It will be posted on the PH/HA website and is sent to the Sewell Fund.

  • A volunteer from the current year's Stipend recipients will take the lead in drafting the PH/HA blog posting summarizing all the stipend recipients' reports.

    • The person who takes the lead on the essay will be listed as the author on the posting.

  • The format for the joint paper is not set. The lead author, with the advice and consent of his/her peers, will decide on the final format.

Are all participants expected to participate in the writing of the joint paper?

  • Yes. This gives them a chance to collaborate with peers, claim a publication, share lessons learned with their colleagues, and promote the Stipend.

When is the joint publication for the PH/HA website due?

  • The group paper will be posted by January following the APHA Annual Meeting.
