Winter Paper Chase hosted by the CWHWxHHS Office of Research

The Center for Women’s Health and Wellness and the HHS Office of Research invite you to join our upcoming Paper Chase — a fast-paced, collaborative writing program that helps faculty interested in building a history of collaboration produce a manuscript together. We also encourage faculty to involve students (graduate and/or undergraduate) in their team to provide them with invaluable experience and training related to writing research manuscripts. Participants will work with their own teams to rapidly develop and submit a publishable manuscript within the span of three days alongside several other writing teams. The Paper Chase catalyzes the speed of the writing process, enhances team mentorship, and increases collaboration across all parts of the writing process. 

We plan to accept three teams for the Paper Chase Event, please see more information below. 

Who: UNCG research teams aiming to establish a collaboration history together (6 members, minimally one of which must be an HHS faculty member) who have unpublished research findings to disseminate. At least one of the three accepted teams must have a project focused on women’s health and wellness, which can include those that look at differences between genders/sexes or those focused exclusively on girls/women.  

When: On-campus writing event December 15–17, 2025 (9am-5pm each day; lunch provided). Online training (3-5 hours) to prepare for the Paper Chase in Fall 2025. 

Where: Participants need to be in-person on campus for the entire 3-day writing period. 

Applications due September 29th at 11:59pm
