- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), Surveillance Research Program (SRP), plan to support the services of a Research Coordinator for the period of one year plus two one year options for the Native CIRCLE in continued collaborative efforts with the Mayo Clinic, Charlton 6, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN 55905. Native C.I.R.C.L.E. (Cancer Information Resource Center and Learning Exchange) has been in operation as a national clearinghouse for cancer education materials specific to American Indian and Alaska Native communities for lay and professional use since September 1998. This resource center has become part of NCI?s effort to disseminate the results of community-based research, including the culturally appropriate educational materials developed as part of the research endeavor. It is a collaborative effort with the Mayo Clinic and the NCI-supported Network for Cancer Control Research among American Indian and Alaska Native Cancer Populations, the oversight body for the Native CIRCLE, which has approval authority for materials included in the resource center to ensure that they are appropriate, relevant and evidence-based. The reputation of Native CIRCLE extends nationally as a central resource for dissemination of research results and distribution of materials proven effective through research. Information requested from the resource center led to distribution in 2003 of over 35,000 pieces of literature and videos, with the center providing materials to over 30 conferences in the past year. The Research Coordinator shall maintain and disseminate quality cancer education and research materials to Native communities, which includes obtaining materials from researchers and educators, scheduling their review by the Native CIRCLE advisory board, cataloging approved materials and entering them into the database, answering requests from those seeking to use the materials, and keeping a record of those requests. The coordinator shall provide information on current and completed cancer research among native communities that will: 1) assist researchers as they develop and test methodologies for application of cancer control interventions, and 2) provide for community health educator materials that have proven successful in previous research. This service is commercial as defined in FAR Part 2, and this acquisition is being made in accordance with the test program using simplified procedures for certain commercial items as authorized in FAR 13.5. The Mayo Clinic is the only organization known to the NCI that has aforementioned resources that are required and believed to be unique. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow the researcher to determine if the party has the connections and resources of the Native C.I.R.C.L.E. (Cancer Information Resource Center and Learning Exchange). An original and one copy of the capability statements must be received in the contracting office by 1:00 p.m. EDT, on July 9, 2004. All questions must be in writing and can be faxed to (301) 402-4513 or emailed to dm170b@nih.gov . It is the vendor's responsibility to call (301) 402-4509 to insure questions have been received. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect call will be accepted. NAICS 541990, Size Standard 6M.
