Blog Squad

Members of the Blog Squad for the 2022 PRIM&R Annual Conference (PRIMR22) will provide an insider's view of the conference by writing a series of posts in exchange for complimentary registration for PRIMR22.

This members-only opportunity is ideal for those who enjoy writing and would like to share their thoughts, reactions, and analysis with readers of Ampersand. Whether you work with IRBs, IACUCs, conflict of interest programs, or any other aspect of the research ethics and oversight field, there’s a place for you on the Blog Squad.

Time committment: Those selected for the blog squad will be responsible for writing three posts after the event.
Application deadline: September 16, 2022

In the application, you will be asked to provide a short biography, a statement of purpose, a photo of yourself to accompany your posts, and an introductory blog post. For your introductory post, you'll write about yourself and your experiences in the field, or about a current challenge or question you have in your day-to-day work that you hope to find answers for at PRIMR22. To explore what a blog post should look like, check out our blogging procedure, or browse through the Blog Squad tag on Ampersand!
