AAP SOEM Surveys

Mission:

• To facilitate the development and distribution of high-quality survey instruments that are 1) relevant and impactful to PEM practice and 2) likely to lead to future research.

Submission:

• Interested researchers may apply at any time. The application can be found at https://redcap.musc.edu/surveys/?s=K3MJ3CJJD8.

Survey applications are evaluated by the Survey Subcommittee on the basis of relevance to PEM, rigor in development, and scholarly impact.

Review:

• Submissions are blindly reviewed by a panel of PEM survey experts with explicit feedback provided to aid the research team. The outcome of the review may be Reject, Revise/Resubmit, or Accept/Revise. Revision requests are common. Researchers should expect a response within @ 1 month of submission.
