- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Fogarty International Center (FIC) has a requirement to procure analytical research service to support the Research and Policy for Infectious Disease Dynamics (RAPIDD) program. This research will involve collaborative involvement on working groups, and development of mathematical model of Zoonoses. In order to achieve the goal of supporting policy, planning, and response decisions to the investigation of the dynamics and control of infectious diseases, the contractor shall perform the following tasks: 1) write consensus papers demonstrating proven and innovative solutions aimed at redefining the state of the art mathematical models with respect to the specific infectious disease 2)prepare and present analyses, case studies, and worked examples as appropriate for the major methodological issues.3) identify crucial gaps in knowledge and the associated research priorities and the associated research priorities, for theory and empirical work as well as for planning and operational issues in the modeling of control interventions. Contractor shall have 1) an ability to contribute their knowledge to the understanding of how seasonal factors affect the dynamics of rotavirus transmission and the potential impact of vaccination 2) an ability to travel among sites of academic institutions, government agencies for workshops and seminars 3) a strong quantitative background demonstrated by experience in rigorous analysis of original and published data on zoonotic infectious diseases 4) demonstrated experience with developing and testing theoretical models in parallel with comparative field and laboratory research on zoonoses 5) a broad knowledge of infectious disease biology and public health issues, and a successful rack record of making presentations to and working with multi-disciplinary groups of scientists and health professionals. Award will be based on best value. This is a set aside for small business. The North American Industrial Classification (NAICS) code 541690 with a size standard of $6.5. All respondents are requested to identify their firms size and type of business.
