From a Thesis to a Paper : Report of the 2019 Summer Course

• In 2019 the Department of Epidemiology and Global Health (EpiGH) Umeå University, conducted the “From a Thesis to a Paper” Summer Course for Master of Public Health (MPH) students and alumni from June 18th to August 30th. The aim of this optional Course was to guide and advise early career researchers in the development of material from their masters theses into manuscripts suitable for submission to peer reviewed journals. Scholarships awarded to MPH students from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) do not cover fees for non-compulsory courses. In 2019 the Taylor & Francis Company introduced a Scholarship Fund which provides course fee waivers for up to ten eligible students in the “From a Thesis to a Paper” Course each year. This report describes the implementation of the Fund and sponsored students’ academic progress. Scheduling the Course in the first year of the Scholarship Fund was not without administrative difficulties because University admissions processes for 2019 summer courses opened prior to the signing of the contract with the Taylor & Francis Company. (See Attachment 1). However we are confident that the “teething issues” outlined here will be resolved in future cycles.
