Pediatric Academic Workshop

The Child Health Research Institute, the Department of Pediatrics and the Great Plains IDeA-CTR invite you to participate in the Pediatric Academic Workshop, "Paper-in-a-Day," scheduled for Friday, October 3. This unique event is designed to promote collaborative research by engaging participants in the development of a research paper over the course of a single day. The workshop provides an excellent learning opportunity for early-career researchers, who will receive guidance and support from seasoned peers while navigating the complexities of conceptualizing and executing a research project. More experienced investigators will reap the rewards of broadening their abilities and experience while making new collaboration opportunities and supporting the development of pediatric researchers.
Due to the "Paper-in-a-Day" format, advanced registration by August 31 will be strictly required to participate in the workshop.
The workshop will commence at 8:00 a.m. with breakfast and team assignments. At 8:30 a.m., an opening presentation will introduce the Epic Cosmos and SlicerDicer tools and provide a detailed overview of the day’s activities. This presentation is open to all, including those unable to participate in the full event.
From 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., participants will focus on key stages of research development. These include forming teams, selecting research problems, and utilizing SlicerDicer for data gathering and analysis. A working lunch will be provided between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
This workshop offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in a collaborative learning environment while exploring valuable methodologies and tools for pediatric research. We hope you join us for this engaging day of academic exploration and professional development.
