- Description
- NHLBI is seeking a Radiology Center (RC) for a new seven-year, multi-center clinical research study entitled, ?SubPopulations and InteRmediate Outcome Measures In COPD Study (SPIROMICS)?. SPIROMICS contractors will design and conduct an observational study with extensive subject phenotyping and molecular fingerprinting to identify subpopulations of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to identify and validate surrogate markers of disease severity which will be useful as intermediate outcome measures for clinical trials. Research subjects will be enrolled, phenotyped, and followed at approximately six Clinical Centers (RFP-NHLBI-HR-08-08). A Genomics and Informatics Center (RFP-NHLBI-HR-08-06) will have primary responsibility for developing a scientific plan for achieving study aims; analyzing phenotypic and high-throughput molecular data; operating a repository of biospecimens; developing bioinformatic resources; data management; providing overall management and oversight of the study; and disseminating study results. The Radiology Center (RFP-NHLBI-HR-08-07) will have primary responsibility for standardizing imaging methods at the Clinical Centers; establishing a repository of CT image data; assessing and assuring quality of CT images; and analyzing CT images to obtain quantitative measures that may indicate the presence and/or severity of COPD or other lung diseases The Radiology Center will have primary responsibility for: 1) providing expertise in radiology and CT imaging; 2) standardizing imaging methods at the Clinical Centers; 3) establishing a repository of CT image data for SPIROMICS; 4) assessing and assuring quality of CT images; and 5) analyzing lung CT images to obtain quantitative measures that may indicate the presence and/or severity of COPD or other lung diseases. The RC must provide expertise in lung image acquisition, processing, and analysis and must have experience in directing lung CT imaging in multi-center clinical research. This is not a request for proposals (RFP) and the Government is not committed to award a contract pursuant to this announcement. It is anticipated that the RFPs will be available on FedBizOpps on or about October 20, 2007. This advertisement does not commit the Government to award a contract. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (19-SEP-2007); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
