- Description
- The National Institutes of Health Office of Science Education, within the Office of the Director, has a requirement for the development of a curriculum supplement on bioethics for high school general biology classes. The supplement will be a teacher?s guide centered on five stand-alone lessons that can easily be integrated into topics commonly studied in general high school biology classes nationwide. Laboratory and computer-based activities may be used when they will enhance students? learning experience. However, all computer-based activities must have a paper-and-pencil alternative. The supplement must comply with the National Science Education Standards (see www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/nses <http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/nses> ) and the Science Framework for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP see www.nagb.org/pubs/pubs.html). The supplement will 1) enrich existing curricular materials; 2) provide teachers with an accessible, rigorous, and effective set of lessons on bioethics; and 3) engage students in developing critical thinking and ethical reasoning skills. Students will gain an understanding of specific biomedical practices by engaging in the supplement?s lessons. They will identify and study the ethical issues that arise as these practices are implemented in society. Students will then examine their own values and beliefs, come to a conclusion that fits within these values and beliefs, and articulate and justify their position on the ethical issues surrounding the biomedical practices. During development, the offeror must field test the supplement in general biology classes at various high schools that collectively represent the intellectual, geographic, and cultural spectrum found across the nation. The final curriculum supplement must be delivered in print ready and Web ready formats. The print ready version must be in InDesign or Quark Express format and include all linked images (as gray scale or CYMK, as appropriate) suitable for professional printing. The Web ready components must run in the IBM Domino/Notes environment and be operable in Apple?s Safari and Microsoft?s Internet Explorer Web browsers in Macintosh and Windows platforms. NIH intends for the materials to be freely reproduced and distributed for educational use. The materials will not be used by any organization or business for sale or profit. The period of performance is 2 years. Solicitations will be issued on or about May 15, 2006. The RFP, RFP amendments, and questions and answers related to this procurement shall only be available via the internet at http//www.fedbizopps.gov. Offerors are responsible for accessing the website Interested parties must respond to the RFP to be considered for award. AT this time, no written solicitation document is available, telephone requests shall not be honored.
