Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD), a peer reviewed electronic journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, has announced its 2017 Student Research Paper Contest.
PCD is looking for high school, undergraduate and graduate students, and medical residency and recent postdoctoral fellows to submit papers relevant to the prevention, screening, surveillance, and/or population-based intervention of chronic diseases, including but not limited to arthritis, asthma, cancer, depression, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Preventing Chronic Disease was established to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in chronic disease prevention and health promotion.
