See our <a href="/calendar" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="058c2f3c-3d9d-4aca-a9b9-160e7f59b086" data-entity-substitution="canonical">MPC events calendar</a> for dates and more information.</p><h2 id="paper-hatchling">Paper Hatchling</h2><p>MPC Paper Hatchling brings together a small group of faculty, research staff, and student members to assist individual members with the early stages of paper and grant design. A few members sign up to pitch a new paper idea to fellow researchers who provide feedback on project design, theoretical framing, data, and methods. Come with an idea you can briefly describe, and a group of experienced researchers will help you pinpoint gaps in the literature, design your project, operationalize variables, or locate data. Members are encouraged to sign up to present a paper idea or to listen and provide feedback on a new paper idea. This is intended to be an incubator space for new ideas, so think of it as a very safe space for rough ideas.</p><p>See our <a href="/calendar" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="058c2f3c-3d9d-4aca-a9b9-160e7f59b086" data-entity-substitution="canonical">MPC events calendar</a> for dates and more information.</p><h2 id="one-to-one-writing-support">One to One Writing Support</h2><p>The MPC Program Development team offers one-to-one writing support for all faculty, staff, postdocs and graduate student members working on population studies-related research publications and grant proposals. Our team can provide assistance at any phase in the writing cycle, from conceiving and outlining a new paper or proposal to addressing a revise and resubmit. Need a final copy edit? We can help with that too!
