- Description
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) on behalf of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) has a requirement to use research training programs and program initiatives to attract and increase the participation of under-represented populations in science and engineering. The NIBIB expects that the project supported by the planned contract award will test the effectiveness of faculty, student, and peer-to-peer mentoring; professional development; social networking; and exposure to academic and industrial research experiences in increasing the number of underrepresented students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. It is expected that the outcome and ‘best practices' gained from this project will help design future programs designed to increase the undergraduate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) diversity pipeline and to direct students in this pipeline to productive biomedical research careers. It is anticipated that this contract will be an Option contract with a one-year base and three one-year options. The anticipated base period of performance for this award is December 1, 2011 to November 30, 2012. This is a Pre-solicitation Notice in advance of a Solicitation, and the Government is not committed to award a contract pursuant to this announcement. The solicitation will be issued under full and open competition. The solicitation detailing the specifics of the project as well as information pertinent to the development of a proposal will be available electronically on or about July 29, 2011 and will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website at http://www.fedbizopps.gov under the National Heart, Lung, and Blood posting section. No paper copies will be available. Proposals will be due on or about August 30, 2011. Offerors are responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments and for routinely checking the Internet site for possible solicitation amendments that may be issued by the Government.
