P&P FAQ

Concept Proposals:

When do I have to submit a concept proposal?

A concept proposal should be submitted when a discrete concept for a manuscript has been put together and the base approach has been defined. You should submit the concept proposal two weeks (by 12:00p ET) before the P&P call you would like to be reviewed on. The P&P meets bi-weekly.

What do I include in a concept proposal submission?

The proposal will include a title, proposed writing group (author list), hypotheses or aims, description of data to be used, and confirmation that any used KPMP data is/will be publicly available in accordance with the KPMP Data Sharing Plan.

Do I have to wait for P&P approval of the concept proposal before starting to write the manuscript?

No, but the P&P encourages KPMP investigators to submit concept proposals as early as possible so others interested have the opportunity to join the writing group.

Where can I find a list of the KPMP concept proposals in progress?

The Central Hub will include a list of active concept proposals in the weekly KPMP Newsletter. Anyone interested in joining a writing group should contact that group directly.

Manuscripts: 

Do I have to submit my manuscript to P&P?

All manuscripts supported fully, or in part, by KPMP data or resources should be submitted to P&P Committee for approval. This includes any manuscripts that include authorship by a KPMP investigator and contain KPMP data (regardless of whether non-KPMP authors and or data from other sources are also included) or resources.

I am a member of the KPMP and the KPMP data in my manuscript is publicly available (pilot tissue or otherwise). Do I have to submit it to the P&P?

Yes. The P&P will review the manuscript to ensure it credits the KPMP appropriately. The P&P also uses the submission system to track consortium output.

I am a member of the KPMP and the KPMP data in my manuscript is previously published (pilot tissue or otherwise). Do I have to submit it to the P&P?

Yes. The P&P will review the manuscript to ensure it credits the KPMP appropriately. The P&P also uses the submission system to track consortium output.

I am a member of the KPMP and am writing a non-KPMP related manuscript that uses previously published KPMP data (pilot tissue or otherwise) as a control dataset. Do I have to submit it to the P&P?

Yes. The P&P will review the manuscript to ensure it credits the KPMP appropriately. The P&P also uses the submission system to track consortium output.

When do I have to submit my manuscript?

You should submit a nearly final draft of the manuscript two weeks (by 12:00p ET) before the P&P call you would like to be reviewed on. The P&P meets bi-weekly.

What verbiage should I use to include the KPMP as an author?

“for the Kidney Precision Medicine Project”

Abstracts

When do I have to submit an abstract?

An abstract should be submitted at least one week before the external (ie conference) submission deadline. The P&P aims to review abstracts within one week of submission, independent of their meeting schedule.

Presentations

When do I have to submit a presentation?

The P&P does not require consortium members to submit presentations. The P&P requests that consortium members submit invited talks at national meetings (talk title, meeting details, and optional presentation slides) to the P&P for archival purposes only. These submissions will not undergo review.
