- Description
- The National Council on Disability is seeking an independent contractor to conduct a research study that examines critical issues surrounding the configuration, financing and delivery of long-term services and supports financing and systems reform. Current financing mechanisms will become unsustainable in the near future and without significant reform, tens of millions of Americans will be unable to find the wide array of affordable and high-quality long-term services and supports options we all expect and deserve. NCD intends for this research to focus on the following areas: (1) current level(s) and type(s) of involvement by the Federal Government in a range of long-term services and supports systems and financing; (2) current and projected future needs for long-term services and supports in the nation among people with disabilities and people who are elderly; (3) gaps in long-term services and supports; (4) key features of (future) long-term care financing and systems reforms; (5) locales that have incorporated indicators of cohesive and comprehensive reform into their policy and service systems; (6) major challenges and barriers that locales face in moving toward cohesive and comprehensive long-term services and supports financing and systems reform; and (7) promising policy levers and policy changes. Through this RFP, NCD will focus its attention and resources on an impending crisis in American domestic policy. The study plan should project a eleven (11) month implementation work schedule. The approximate release date and closing date are November 15, 2003, and January 5, 2004. The estimated contract period of performance is eleven months. Requests for copies of the RFP may be made by mail or picked up on or after the issue date at the above address. All requests should reference the number and title of the RFP. All inquiries regarding this RFP should be directed to Martin Gould, Ed.D., 202-272-2112 (voice), 202-272-2074 (TTY), mgould@ncd.gov or addressed to Long-Term Services, National Council on Disability, 1331 F Street, NW, Suite 850, Washington, DC 20004.
