Abstract

Contrary to popular belief, writing the thesis, capstone, project, or dissertation is not the end of the research story; it is just the beginning! The conclusions must reach beyond the academic paper and be disseminated to professionals in the field as well as the public. It is important that what has been discovered can be applied to healthcare, not only in one place but in many. In addition to discussing why dissemination is important, especially in research that deals with the everchanging landscape of healthcare delivery, it will also introduce the idea of rewriting the paper to get some funding to continue on as a researcher extraordinaire! This chapter helps the reader to learn the ABCs of getting a paper published. It discusses the presentations at conferences and applying results to healthcare delivery. The chapter provides the ideas for getting funding to support ones future research.
