Physician-led research at MAPMG is a vital part of a dynamic learning health system. MAPRI can lend assistance in facilitating physician-led research projects and other scholarly activities. But it is important to know a few basics before getting started.
Research Funding and Support
MAPMG physicians interested in research opportunities are encouraged to explore these programs and processes:
MAPMG/MAPRI Research Programs:
Get Started
- MAPMG Physicians interested in research should first complete the MAPMG Research Interest and Publication Approvals Form.
- This form is not necessary for the MAPMG Physician Research Scholars Program. Instructions are found here.
What to Expect
- The Physician Research Team will review your Research Interest Form and schedule an intake meeting. The intake meeting will include an overview of conducting research at MAPMG and a discussion of next steps.
Manuscripts, Abstracts, and Other Scholarly Assistance
All manuscripts and abstracts must be approved by the MAPRI Executive Director, Dr. Michael Horberg, before submission to any peer-reviewed journals and/or professional conferences. The Physician Research Team can facilitate the approval process by submission of the MAPMG Research Interest and Publication Approvals Form. You should allow 4-6 weeks before any submission deadline for approval.
The MAPMG Scientific Writer is available for consultation and assistance for manuscript and/or abstract development, preparation, and submission, as well as other items such as Curriculum Vitae updates related to scientific activities. The Scientific Writer will provide consultation to discuss goals, work scheduling, and completion timeframes. Physicians should allow 4-6 weeks to develop any potential abstract submissions when requesting assistance from the Scientific Writer. Manuscripts will be scoped individually but generally require more time. To request a consultation, complete and submit the MAPMG Research Interest and Publication Approvals Form.
Physicians should plan to utilize their personal professional development funds to cover the costs of scientific dissemination activities outside of MAPRI.
