For details of Small Business Size Standards see http://www.SBA.gov). This is a SMALL BUSINESS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability of ALL small businesses (e.g., 8(a), Veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, and other small businesses) to fulfill the needs of NIH and NIDA for this future requirement. The NIH Pain Consortium supports the general principle that better education will lead to better treatment. In addition, the NIH Pain Consortium supports the argument that better pain treatment is necessary. The purpose of the current contract is to support the next phase of the NIH Pain Consortium (see http://painconsortium.nih.gov/CoEPEs.html). The goal of the Centers of Excellence in Pain Education (CoEPEs) initiative of the NIH Pain Consortium is to develop pain management training and educational resources for medical, dental, nursing, and pharmacy students to advance the assessment, diagnosis, and safe treatment of pain. The pain education curriculum resources will be available through a repository on the NIH Pain Consortium website. The repository will include innovative curriculum resources created by CoEPEs, as well as those adapted from existing successful resources. NIH seeks leaders in promoting pain education who have an interest in and a history of promoting improved pain education. NIH seeks applicants that can document that they will have the time, ability, and institutional clearance to increase pain education in their teaching environments. NIH will favor interprofessional pain education approaches, where students from various health care professions learn together and, where appropriate, work together in the treatment of pain. Further, NIH seeks applicants that demonstrate that they are capable of creating quality case content and videos. Contractors must: • Possess the expertise needed to complete the three tasks below; • Have access to medical, dental, nursing, or pharmacy school curricula; and • Have systems in place to integrate these educational resources into their respective curricula. Contractors must complete the following three tasks: Task 1: The Contractor must incorporate pain education into the learning institutions defined as the CoEPEs. The extent to which pain education can be incorporated into the curriculum of a given CoEPE will vary. A Contractor must incorporate pain education into the curriculum of the teaching institutions of its particular CoEPE as it describes in its proposal. Task 2: The Contractor must develop content used in the development of interactive case-based pain education scenarios. Task 3: The Contractor must evaluate the effectiveness of Tasks 1 and 2 on its students' understanding of pain and the treatment of pain; the Contractor must disseminate these results. If you are interested in responding to this notice, you must demonstrate and document in any capability statement you submit extensive experience with and the ability to perform the above four tasks. Organizations should demonstrate capability to administer and coordinate interrelated tasks in an effective and timely manner. Documentation may include, but is not limited to, current or past contracts with the Government and/or commercial organizations, references, i.e., names, titles, telephone numbers, and any other information serving to document the organizations capability, e.g. awards, commendations, etc. The information you send should be relevant and specific in the technical area under consideration, on each of the following qualifications: (1) Experience: An outline of previous projects; (2) Personnel: Name, professional qualifications and specific experience of scientists and technical personnel who may be assigned as principal investigator and/or project director; (3) Facilities: Availability and description of facilities to perform the four tasks mentioned above. (4) Any other specific and relevant information about this particular area of procurement that would improve our consideration and evaluation of the information presented is desirable. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: This notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not commit the Government to any contractual agreement. The Government does not intend to award a contract based on responses under this announcement nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information sent for the Government's use.
