The Word Processing Center provides word processing and technical support for document preparation to all St. Jude research and administrative staff members. Our goals are to produce high-quality documents with a reasonable turnaround time, to increase productivity, and to supplement the usual secretarial support. The Word Processing Research Specialists provide support for St. Jude research departments by typing first drafts and revisions of protocols, grant applications, manuscripts for publication in research journals, biographical sketches, curriculum vitae, book chapters, abstracts, and poster and slide presentations. Flow Charting 4 for flow charts, and Reference Manager for bibliographies.
Grant applications have top priority.
Normal turnaround time is 48 hours or less. If you have a rush request, please notify the department as soon as possible. If you are planning a large volume of work, such as a grant application, please notify the department director so that work schedules can be arranged. All research work is charged back to the department or to a grant, the number of which should be indicated on the Work Request Form. The Word Processing Department also provides medical transcription services for the clinical staff.
