This research opportunity is available for all College of Graduate Health Studies (CGHS) students, including certificate students and dual-degree students, with the following caveats:
If you are in a doctorate level program, this research opportunity is separate from the research you will be doing for your ARP or DRP. If you are eager to start your ARP or DRP early, talk to your program chair and/or your advisor.
If you are a dual-degree student, we request you speak with your primary school's administration first. Many of ATSU's schools have robust research programs in place, and we don't want to step on anyone's toes. You may participate in this opportunity if it's OK with your school's administration.
The Office of Scholarly and Professional Development (OSPD) is pleased to offer students the opportunity to pursue researching and publishing a paper as an option for those interested in original authorship. Several highly qualified faculty have volunteered to serve as mentors for students who are interested in publishing papers that are not a part of their respective ARP or DRP. Please note that ARP and DRP students should work directly with their own facilitator/instructor, following program policy, to pursue publication of their ARP or DRP manuscripts. For all other projects, read on!
Do you have an idea or topic that you would like to research and publish? If so, fill out this form and forward it to cghsscholars@atsu.edu for consideration.
A crucial step in any research study is determining the feasibility of the proposed plan. While having all of the details figured out from the beginning is not necessary, evaluating whether you have a topic that meets a need or area of inquiry in the field, sufficient access to resources, and that your mentor can support your publication journey is essential.
The introductory outline requires you to consider factors that will serve as a departure point for the research you will conduct with a dedicated faculty member. Giving careful consideration to these factors, and revising your plan based on mentor input, will increase the likelihood of successful and timely publication of your paper.
The OSPD and your assigned mentor will make a final determination regarding the acceptability of your project.
If you have questions, please email cghsscholars@atsu.edu; otherwise, we look forward to seeing your proposals! Send your proposals, using this form, to cghsscholars@atsu.edu
