- Description
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting proposals on a full and open competitive basis from qualified businesses, organizations, colleges, universities and institutions to award a contract to serve as the NIDDK Data Repository. The Data Repository stores the data from large clinical studies, including data associated with the stored biosamples, and acts as the Data Coordinating Center for the NIDDK Central Repositories. The Database Repository, acting as a central coordinating entity, facilitates efficient distribution of data and samples. As an archive and distributor of highly usable legacy datasets, the Repository also allows re-analysis of these data and, where relevant, of specific biosamples, thus encouraging work by junior investigators, investigators with novel approaches, and others not included in current collaborations. The objective of this acquisition is to continue the NIDDK Data Repository in order to accomplish the following activities in a highly efficient, rapid, and cost-effective manner: ? Assist study coordinating centers and the NIDDK Biosample and Genetics Repositories in setting up labeling systems to cross-reference samples and associated data. ? Maintain a central inventory of samples from the NIDDK Biosample and Genetics Repositories, and provide inventory reporting structures for individual studies. ? Receive and test the validity of electronic databases from completed studies. ? Maintain and distribute those databases, including administering review of access applications. ? Provide timely and informative analyses of databases in response to researcher inquiries. ? Create and maintain a website for all of the NIDDK Central Repositories. ? Carry out activities to advertise the availability of samples and data to the research community. The information systems, consulting, and database archiving tasks outlined in this statement of work are highly technical, and require extensive experience, expertise, and long-term commitment. The data from each study represents the efforts of hundreds of investigators over five or more years to improve the public health through biomedical research, and the voluntary participation of hundreds or thousands of patients and family members. The data cannot be replaced without great expense and effort, and therefore it is essential that they be protected from loss, damage or misuse. The contractor?s project director must have extensive experience in successful database management. The contractor?s staff must be highly trained to work with, maintain, and analyze numerous databases, including those in Oracle and other DBMS?s. As all the work is with data from human subjects, all staff must be familiar with human subjects protections and be sensitive to the bioethical issues involved in handling subject data. Finally, the contractor must have a demonstrable long-term interest in providing these services, to ensure that there is continuity throughout the period of the contract. Since 2003, Research Triangle Institute (RTI) has served as the contractor for The NIDDK Data Repository. Request for Proposal No. NIH-NIDDK-07-07 will be issued at the www.fedbizopps.gov website on or about September 8, 2007 with a receipt date for proposals on or about November 20, 2007. See Numbered Note 26. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (24-AUG-2007); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
