- Description
- RFTOP for DNA Re-sequencing and Genotyping Administrative Coordinating Center The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health is seeking task order proposals from contractors under the NIH Public Information and Communications Services (PICS) contracts for an Administrative Coordinating Center for the NHLBI DNA Re-sequencing and Genotyping (RS & G) Program. The overall objective of the program is to obtain reliable, rapid, and cost efficient DNA re-sequencing and genotyping to assist investigators actively engaged in elucidating the genetic components involved in the cause, variable outcome, and progression of heart, lung, blood, and sleep diseases and disorders. It is anticipated that the RS&G Program will comprise one to two laboratory centers for DNA re-sequencing, one to three laboratory centers for genotyping, and an Administrative Coordinating Center. Under the RS&G Program, investigators from the NHLBI community will request use of the re-sequencing/genotyping service at no cost to the investigator. An external panel of experts will evaluate the requests for caliber, interest, and feasibility for re-sequencing/genotyping. On a regular basis, the panel will identify to NHLBI those studies recommended to receive the services during the upcoming period. After approval by NHLBI, the laboratory centers will interact directly with the investigators to perform the requested re-sequencing or genotyping. The Administrative Coordinating Center responsibilities will be to establish and maintain a website, advertise and market the RS & G Program to the research communities, process the requests for use of the Laboratory Centers, make effective work assignments for the Laboratory Centers, provide logistical support for the three RS & G Program committees (Steering Committee, Oversight Committee, and Evaluation Panel), and facilitate communication with NHLBI. It is anticipated that the task order award will be cost-reimbursement, performance-based, for a period of 5 years inclusive of all options. Performance is anticipated to begin on or about June 1, 2004. The Request for Task Order Proposal, RFTOP-NHLBI-HV-04-12, will be available on or about August 27, 2003. The RFTOP must be downloaded from the NHLBI website at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/funding/inits/index.htm#rfp. The RFTOP will also be available on the FedBizOpps site. The due date for proposal submission is October 23, 2003. Competition for the task order award will be limited to those organizations holding a contract for NIH Public Information and Communications Services.
