Call for chair, vice chair, authors, and a methodology fellow to participate in development of an AACE Consensus Statement on Diabetes Technology

Submissions open: May 2 - June 6, 2024

AACE is seeking a chair, vice chair, authors, and a methodology fellow to develop a consensus statement on diabetes technology. This consensus statement will be an official AACE document which reflects the mission and positions of AACE and provides evidence-informed clinical guidance on a timely topic with a rapidly evolving evidence base to facilitate dissemination of up-to-date best practice. While referenced and scholarly, the consensus statement will not require a systematic appraisal of evidence but will follow a consistent yet less rigorous and formal development process than AACE clinical practice guidelines.

Applicants should be current AACE members in good standing, active in practice, and able to commit to at least 1 year of development. Applicants must maintain AACE membership at the appropriate level throughout the development process and complete required disclosure and committee forms per AACE policy.

Approved task force members must participate in video conferences, submit assignments via email, fulfill ICMJE criteria for authorship, and adhere to the AACE Conflict of Interest Policy.

The chair and vice chair will oversee development of the consensus statement from scoping to publication, lead development and consensus meetings with the task force, and ensure that the statement reflects best practice based on evidence and that the project is completed within assigned timeline for submission to Endocrine Practice.

Authors will provide input on scope, write narrative summaries of supporting evidence, benefits and harms, and clinical considerations for assigned sections and participate in discussions with the task force to achieve consensus on content.

The methodology fellow will receive authorship for assistance with identification and selection of evidence and development of the consensus statement as assigned by the chairs.

To qualify for consideration, applicants for:

• Chair will have at least two publications on the topic within the last 5 years as first or senior author
• Vice Chair will have at least two publications on the topic within the last 5 years (first or senior author preferred)
• Authors will have publications on the topic within the last 7 years.
• Mid-Career to Senior-Level Applicants: At least two publications on the topic (first or senior author preferred)
