The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Office of Acquisitions, Station Support/Simplified Acquisition Branch, on behalf of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Intramural Research Program (IRP), intends to negotiate and award a contract on a noncompetitive basis to the University of Maryland, 220 Arch Street, Room 02148, Baltimore, MD, 21201-1531, to conduct research to assess dopamine efflux in the dorsal striatum and nucleus accumbens in awake behaving rats. The period of performance is twelve months. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Intramural Research Program (IRP) has a requirement to conduct research to assess dopamine efflux in the dorsal striatum and nucleus accumbens in awake behaving rats in Baltimore, Maryland. The purpose of this contract will be to assess dopamine efflux in the dorsal striatum and nucleus accumbens, in controls and experimental groups in which activity from several afferent areas will be manipulated, in the context of blocking and unblocking, including unblocking both by upshift, downshift, and changes reward identity.
