- Description
- This procurement is a total small business set aside. NIDA intends to solicit proposals from qualified small businesses (NAICS Code 541712) for Coordination Center to work in conjunction with the NIH Pain Consortium Centers of Excellence in Pain Education (CoEPEs). The Coordination Center will be to maintain and facilitate conversations and collaborations of the CoEPEs on an interactive online communication portal and via other means. This Center will also create online interactive case­ based teaching scenarios that will be put on the NIH Pain Consortium site and used in teaching students in various professional schools (e.g. nursing, dental, medical and pharmacy schools) about how to diagnose and properly treat pain. Further, the Coordinating Center will design, program, maintain and update the page to be place on the NIH website. The Coordinating Center will review content from the CoEPEs for each case, proofread and correct content, and program content into interactive cases. One example of a program to create these cases is Storyline, but similar programs may be used. However, all cases must be made 508 compliant, must integrate into the major learning management systems used by teaching institutions, and must be free for the end users. The contractor must ensure consistency across the cases, in terms of content, presentation and interactivity. It will further coordinate the NIH Pain Consortium review and revision of submitted materials. Further, the contractor is expected to facilitate the NIH review these cases for scientific and education correctness and value, by a person(s) with a higher academic degree and expertise in online education and/or pain and analgesia. The CoEPEs will publish papers, present at professional conferences and disseminate information about their pain education efforts in other ways, and the Coordinating Center will facilitate this process in numerous ways (e.g. proofreading and editing, facilitating communication, organizing planning meetings and teleconferences). The Coordination Center will facilitate interactions between the CoEPEs and the NIH Pain Consortium, including reducing redundancy in final product and filling important treatment education gaps. Further, the Coordinating Center will coordinate and facilitate interactions and collaborations of the CoEPEs and other organizations and individuals interested in promoting pain education. NIDA anticipates the award of a cost reimbursement contract. It is anticipated that this acquisiton have a base period of one year with four one year option periods, and option quantities.
