Call for Papers | Students Have Their Say: Novel Approaches and Solutions to Current and Emerging Public Health Problems
May 1, 2024
Submission Due Date: Friday, April 17, 2026
Students are invited to submit an essay describing how to approach persistent current or emerging public health challenges with new approaches and solutions. We believe that students are in a unique position to offer novel ideas and share fresh perspectives, and we want them to have their say! A student, not a mentor or professor, must serve as first and corresponding author on the essay. Only the student can communicate with the journal about the status or decision on the essay. Students must be currently enrolled in a college or university. High school, undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and postdoctoral students are encouraged to submit essays. A letter of acknowledgment that the student is currently enrolled must be provided with essay submission.
