- Description
- THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE (NIDA) plans to procure services from qualified organizations certified by the Small Business Administration under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act having the capability to provide logistical and operational support for the Clinical Trials Network (CTN). The development of the CTN was based, in part, upon a recommendation from the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse and conclusions of the Physicians Leadership on National Drug Policy. The Institute of Medicine/National Academy of Sciences report "Bridging the Gap Between Practice and Research: Forging Partnerships with Community-Based Drug and Alcohol Treatment" also recommended a national network for drug abuse treatment trials. These sites represent a variety of treatment traditions that include pharmacological as well as behavioral and other psychosocial interventions. Furthermore, NIDA ensures a wide variety of patient populations in the selection of CTN recipients. Women, minority groups, and adolescents are well represented. This contract will support all activities to enable the CTN to conduct quality multi-site clinical trials on behavior, pharmacological, and integrated therapies in Community-based Treatment Programs (CTP). The range of support services encompasses the following areas: 1. Coordinating logistic and operational support for a variety of CTN meetings; 2. Arranging the logistics and supporting the costs associated with coordinating network calls on an as needed basis; 3. Coordinating and paying for consultants who provide NIDA and the CTN grantees with expert advice on a variety of topics regarding the scientific and managerial aspects of the CTN; 4. Preparing publicity, meeting, and protocol related materials; 5. Providing a scientific writer/editor to prepare reports, take minutes of meetings and conference calls, and edit documents; 6. Reproducing and distributing research materials, protocol related documents, and educational materials; 7. Creating and maintaining administrative data bases to support the CTN activities; 8. Providing translational services for CTN materials and web sites already produced in English; 9. Updating and expanding the CTN web site; and, 10. Providing other miscellaneous support services. NIDA anticipates award of one cost-plus-fixed-fee, completion type contract for a period of five years with option quantities for additional effort. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code identified for this requirement is 541611 with a size standard of $6.5 million. RFP No. NO1DA-7-2211 will be available electronically on or about January 16, 2007. You can access the RFP through the FedBizOpps (URL: http://www.fedbizopps.gov) or through the NIDA website at the following address: (URL: http://www.nida.nih.gov/RFP/RFPList.html).
