The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is seeking suggestions for experts to participate in a new consensus study that will evaluate the current standards for high-quality systematic reviews for comparative effectiveness research and deliver updated guidance based on advances in evidence synthesis, including engagement, technology, and methodology. This report will build upon the 2011 report, Finding What Works in Health Care: Standards of Systematic Reviews. The study committee will produce updated systematic review standards and identify areas for additional research. Using these suggestions, National Academies staff will be looking to build a committee of approximately 14 volunteer experts in addition to collecting information for potential speakers, participants, and peer reviewers for any publications resulting from the activity. Based on the Statement of Task, staff are looking for expertise particularly in the following areas:
- Systematic reviews and evidence synthesis methodologies
- Research study design standards and evaluation
- Patient, community, and stakeholder engagement
- Biostatistics and epidemiology
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning
- Research ethics and transparency
- Chronic disease endpoints
- Clinical and health services research
- Public health and health policy
- Health care service delivery
