Background: The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) provides global leadership for a research, training, and education program to promote the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, and blood diseases and enhance the health of all individuals so that they can live longer and more fulfilling lives. The NHLBI stimulates basic discoveries about the causes of disease, enables the translation of basic discoveries into clinical practice, fosters training and mentoring of emerging scientists and physicians, and communicates research advances to the public. It creates and supports a robust, collaborative research infrastructure in partnership with private and public organizations, including academic institutions, industry, and other government agencies. The Institute collaborates with patients, families, health care professionals, scientists, professional societies, patient advocacy groups, community organizations, and the media to promote the application of research results and leverage resources to address public health needs. The NHLBI also collaborates with international organizations to help reduce the burden of heart, lung, and blood diseases worldwide. An essential service required by this group is to maintain critical research and reagents at their assigned temperatures. It is also required by FDA current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) that certain research be able to document the proper storage of components stored at room temperature, under refrigeration and in -20C to -80C and LN2 freezers. Purpose and Objective: The NHLBI is currently in need of upgrading and fully validating the existing Rees Scientific equipment monitoring system and alarm system for their laboratory facilities located in Building 50 on the NIH Bethesda, MD campus. The upgrade will greatly increase future flexibility and capabilities of the monitoring system. The upgrade will consist of trading out an existing node but using other Rees components currently in place. In addition, the new system must include features such as the "Buddy Watch", alarm function and the ability to add V2 - 2.4 GHz & Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n wireless transmitters that buffer data every 5 minutes with 7 days of memory.
