- Description
- The National Library of Medicine is currently considering adding additional funding and extending several existing research and development contracts awarded under Application of Advanced Network Infrastructure in Heath and Disaster Management. The assessment and decision to continue and/or add funding to any of the contracts is solely at the discretion of the National Library of Medicine. The contracts were created under an initiative to demonstrate the application of scalable, network aware, wireless, GIS, and identification technologies to a networked health related environment. The research focuses on situations that will require or greatly benefit from the application of these technologies in health care, medical decision-making, public health, large-scale health emergencies, health education, biomedical, clinical, and health services research. Each project involves the use of test bed networks linking hospitals, clinics, the health practitioners' offices, patients' homes, health professional schools, medical libraries, universities, medical research centers and laboratories, and/or public health authorities, to demonstrate revolutionary applications in healthcare, health education, and medical research. These significant, network dependent healthcare, health education or research applications will demonstrate one or more of the following capabilities: 1) Self-scaling applications; 2) Self-optimizing end-to-end network aware real-time applications and/or middleware; 3) Wireless applications; 4) Nomadic application and/or applications using geographic information systems (GIS) techniques; and 5) Applications which involve advanced identification methodologies, e.g., biometrics or smartcards. These test beds shall be designed to yield insight into three realms: first, the biomedical and social value of the proposed test bed services to the individuals served; second, insight into the potential value of these services to the health delivery, public health or health education enterprise, or homeland defense initiative; and third, insight into particular elements of future advanced network capabilities or network specifications that are required for support of these capabilities. Projects may range from being small in scope requiring small amounts of funding to very broad in scope requiring larger amounts of additional funding. This is not a request for proposals. Only existing research and development contracts awarded under Application of Advanced Network Infrastructure in Heath and Disaster Management are being considered.
