Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. The Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch (OEEB) within the National Cancer Institute (NCI) carries out studies of occupation and environment-related risk. These studies include retrospective assessment of historical exposures through industry and questionnaire-based evaluations; on-site evaluation of exposures through air, dermal and biological monitoring; and evaluation of early biologic effects and genetic susceptibility. The contractor shall provide support services for epidemiologic applications of industrial hygiene to meet critical needs on four major research areas: 1)-a study of miners exposed to diesel exhaust (Diesel Study), 2)-studies of benzene exposed workers in China (Chinese Benzene), 3)-a study on occupational solvent exposures and biomarker effects (Solvent Biomarker Study), and 4)-a study on indoor air pollution and lung cancer (Qujing Lung Cancer Study). The contractor shall provide the services, of an industrial hygienist (IH), in the area of industrial hygiene applications to epidemiologic research on environmental and occupational determinants of cancer. The Contractor shall provide services to support OEEB research activities in the areas of miners exposed to diesel exhaust, of workers exposed to benzene in China, of workers exposed to solvent exposures, and of nonsmoking women exposed to indoor air pollution. The University of Utrecht has extensive and unique experience in these areas. Researchers at the University are recognized leaders in occupational and environmental exposure assessment for epidemiological studies along with a strong background in industrial hygiene, toxicology and epidemiology. The University is familiar with the different areas in exposure assessment including real-time and historical assessments, quantitative exposure modeling techniques, biological monitoring and dermal exposure assessments. This is critical to the ongoing studies at the NCI and data must remain consistent. No other source is known to the NCI that combines both the knowledge and experience necessary to work on these studies. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party believes it can provide the above service, it may submit a statement of capabilities.
