Student Research Paper Contest on Preventing Chronic Disease

PCD Now Accepting Submissions for 2016 Student Research Paper Contest


Dear Colleagues,

Do you know an exceptional student who’s doing great work in the field of chronic disease prevention and health promotion? Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is currently taking submissions for its 2016 Student Research Paper Contest.

The journal is looking for high school, undergraduate and graduate students as well as medical residency and recent post-doctoral fellows to submit papers relevant to the prevention, screening, surveillance, and/or population-based intervention of chronic disease, including but not limited to arthritis, asthma, cancer, depression, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Help us spread the word by sharing this call for participation with your students, colleagues, and friends.

Papers must be received electronically no later than 5:00 PM on January 18, 2016. Additional information and detailed submission guidelines are available on the PCD website at http://www.cdc.gov/pcd/announcements.htm and in the flyer posted here:  http://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2015/pdf/StudentResearchPaperContestFlyer2016final.pdf

Thank you in advance for your assistance and continued support of PCD.

Best Regards,
Sasha M. Ruiz
