- Description
- The Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID), of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), intends to compete a requirement currently being performed by Family Health International (FHI) under Contract No. N01-AI-05403. This solicitation is being issued under full and open competitive procedures. DMID supports extramural research to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases caused by virtually all human infectious agents except HIV. DMID supports projects spanning the entire spectrum of biomedical research from early basic research through phase III clinical trials. Through the contemplated contract, DMID intends to establish and maintain an International Clinical Studies Support Center (ICSSC). The primary goal of the ICSSC is to enhance the capacity of international clinical sites to perform clinical research in accordance with international standards, such as the International Conference on Harmonization?s (ICH) Good Clinical Practices (GCP), and to facilitate the planning and conduct of clinical evaluations of interventions against infectious disease. Studies that require support include epidemiologic studies and clinical trials that range from small, early phase trials to large multi-center efficacy trials. These studies are conducted throughout the world, primarily in Africa, South and Central America, and Asia. The primary focus of this solicitation is assistance and site development activities rather than regulatory compliance or monitoring activities as these services are provided under other DMID-funded contracts. The activities of all concerned contractors will be coordinated by DMID staff. Work to be performed will include: assessment of the readiness of sites to conduct clinical studies; development and design of clinical protocols; training in clinical research design and conduct, including GCP and ethical issues, data management, statistical analysis, and safety monitoring and; logistical/operational aspects of managing the DMID international clinical research portfolio. It is anticipated that a single cost reimbursement, completion type contract will be awarded for a 7-year period of performance beginning on or about July 20, 2005, and require an estimated 4 FTEs with expertise consistent with the operations of a project of this size and complexity. This RFP will be available electronically on/about September 15, 2004, and may be accessed through the NIAID Contract Management Program (CMP) Home Page at http://www.niaid.nih.gov/contract and on FedBizOpps. Any responsible offeror may submit a proposal that will be considered by the Government. This notice does not commit the Government to award of a contract. No collect calls will be accepted. No facsimile transmissions will be accepted. See Government-Wide Numbered Note 26.
