Pre-Submission Proposals for AABIP Guidelines

Shape the future of Interventional Pulmonology with us! The AABIP invites pre-submission proposals for new societal guidelines designed to advance the practice and future trajectory of our field. This streamlined process allows applicants to present preliminary concepts for guideline development, focusing on relevance, feasibility, and importance.

AABIP members from all fields are encouraged to apply, regardless of specialty.

What we are looking for:

The American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP) invites innovative proposals for clinical guidelines addressing critical unmet needs in the Interventional Pulmonology and Advanced
Bronchoscopy community. We seek projects that align with our mission to enhance patient care and advance the field through evidence-based guidance.

Ideal guideline proposals should focus on topics that may be considered too specific for broader guidelines developed by organizations such as CHEST or ATS. We are particularly interested in clinical scenarios where current guidance is limited, outdated, or conflicting, as well as areas involving emerging technologies or innovative procedures that require detailed and specific recommendations.

Why submit a pre-submission proposal?

This stage enables applicants to outline foundational aspects of their guideline concept without committing to the time and resource demands of a full submission. Pre-submission proposals allow the AABIP Guidelines Oversight Committee (GOC) to assess the feasibility, relevance, and potential impact of proposed guidelines.

What happens next?

• Impact on Practice: How the proposal addresses critical gaps and improves patient outcomes.
• Feasibility and Resource Alignment: Whether the plan is realistic and supported by available resources.
• Strategic Fit and Alignment: Proposal's consistency with AABIP’s mission and readiness for full development.

Proposals with the highest scores will be invited to submit a full proposal.
