- Description
- It is the intent of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), to negotiate on a sole source basis with Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD), Ann Arbor, MI, for the period September 1, 2003 to August 31, 2004. The purpose of this order is to obtain the services of SRCD Executive Branch Policy Fellow to serve as part of OBSSR staff to provide greater interaction between the developmental research community and federal research programs and policies. Following a two-week science policy orientation program at American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Fellows work as resident scholars in a federal agency that sponsors developmental research, providing advice and guidance to programs, and working in partnership with research teams within the federal government. The SRCD was founded in 1933 to advance research in child development, to foster an interdisciplinary consideration of substantive and methodological problems in the field of child development, and to encourage applications of research findings. The Society publishes two journals, a newsletter, a membership directory, and a social policy report; holds biennial meetings in March or April of odd-numbered years; sponsors conferences; and supports a Washington, DC-based policy and communications office. Its membership of more than 5,600 is representative of the various disciplines and professions that contribute to knowledge of child development. Under the guidance of the Committee on Policy and Communications, the Society helps to bring the results of research to bear on the formulation of policy affecting children and families. One way this is done is through the Society for Research in Child Development Policy Fellowships. Since 1978, SRCD has recruited and facilitated the placement of more than 60 AAAS congressional and (since 1991) executive branch fellows. The goals of these fellowships are to contribute to the effective use of scientific knowledge in developing public policy, to educate the scientific community about the development of public policy, and to establish a more effective liaison between scientists and the federal policy-making mechanisms. The Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) is the only organization that can provide an SRCD Executive Branch Policy Fellow on September 1, 2003 as required by OBSSR. The proposed acquisition will be procured under FAR Part 13 - Simplified Acquisitions. This is not a Request for Quotations (RFQ), nor is an RFQ available, however, all responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by the NLM. Firms interested in responding to this notice must be able to provide service as specified above. Responses must be in writing and must be received in this office within fifteen (15) calendar days from publication date of this notice, and must include pricing information and meet the criteria requirement. Inquires regarding this procurement may be made to the National Library of Medicine, Office of Acquisitions Management, 8600 Rockville Pike, Building 38A, Room B1N20, Bethesda, Maryland 20894, Attention: Uyen H. Phuong, Lead Purchasing Agent, on (301) 496-6127. Fax requests WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
