- Description
- The CDC, Office of Strategy and Innovation (OSI), has a requirement for Activating Innovation which is essential and highly beneficial for direct acceleration of health impact and will assist in preparation for public health challenges and target its structural and budget priorities to meet agency goals. In order to drive innovation throughout CDC, credible expertise is required to employ breakthrough futuring methodologies and technologies for providing unbiased objective research using an outside-in view of the future that is based in deep research and reliable forecasting methodology. The outside-in approach is required to fully develop a robust and innovation operational plan required to establish a world-class public health innovation program. Activating Innovation will support the foundational work required to successfully develop and implement an evidence-based public health innovation program as well as allow the CDC to gain new and substantive insights about the role of public health innovation and prevention outcomes, health care quality, and costs. The Government intends to award a sole source contract to the Institute for the Future (IFTF) as a logical follow-on to previous work done by IFTF for Phase I of the project which required the generation of a Global Economy Public Health Economy custom map and a Cooperation Workshop. Phases II and III will require the following: Public Health Innovation Collaboratory and Immersive Experiences for Innovation Working Groups. Each phase is approximately one year in duration. The IFTF has close to 40 years of experience long-term data-based forecasting versus short-term data-based forecasting and it is this unique approach and support for the development of a sustainable public health innovation program that is so vital and important to CDC?s OSI. The CDC will have access to all of IFTF's archives of future forecasting materials and research, all IFTF training and consultation opportunities, specialized research activities, and reports designed specifically for the CDC. The period of performance will be a twelve-month base year and one, one-year option period, beginning on or about 1 April 2008. Solicitation documents will be available on or about 21 February 2008, through the Federal Business Opportunities website at http:///www.fedbizopps.gov/. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. See Numbered Note 22.
