The Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is seeking small businesses with the capabilities to evaluate vaccine and therapeutic candidates in Phase 1 through Phase 4 clinical trials, as well as to conduct other types of evaluations and analyses, for viral (other than HIV), bacterial, parasitic and fungal pathogens, including NIAID priority biodefense pathogens (http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/Biodefense/bandc_priority.htm). The scope of investigational vaccine and therapeutic candidates includes live, attenuated, killed, vectored DNA and combination vaccines, adjuvants, novel therapeutic agents such as immunomodulatory agents, and approaches to vaccine or therapeutic delivery, dose finding, schedule, routes and modes of delivery. The Contractor shall incorporate novel vaccine and therapeutic technologies as they are developed into clinical trials. Clinical research will be carried out in the general population, including pediatric, adult and elderly subjects, as well as additional populations, when necessary, such as women of reproductive age, pregnant women, immunocompromised populations, non-U.S. populations, and populations with underlying medical conditions. Contractors shall be experienced clinical research sites with access to general and additional study populations and the capacity to provide research facilities, services and personnel to carry out the full range of clinical research activities. These activities require outpatient and inpatient clinical research facilities, clinical and research laboratory facilities, research pharmacy facilities, and other general, non-clinical facilities. Scientific and technical staff shall have expertise, training and experience in the conduct and oversight of clinical trials and clinical studies in infectious diseases in accordance with Good Clinical Practices and applicable Federal regulations governing research involving human subjects. The complete Statement of Work and Technical Evaluation Criteria for this project are attached as separate PDF files.
