Blog Squad

About the Blog Squad

PRIM&R members who possess strong writing skills, the ability to meet deadlines, and an interest in sharing their thoughts on research ethics topics with their peers are invited to apply for PRIM&R's Blog Squad!

Members of the blog squad for a PRIM&R program share their insights from the program in the form of a series of blog posts in exchange for complimentary registration. These contributions are published on Ampersand, PRIM&R’s blog, and authors are encouraged to share their bylined posts with their boss, colleagues, friends, and family.

If you'd like to participate in the open Blog Squad opportunities listed below, please complete the online application (it's the same application for all).
