The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Division of Intramural Research, is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), conducting research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders and stroke. The NINDS mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease. Laboratory of Functional and Molecular Imaging (LFMI) was founded in 1999 with the major goal of developing imaging techniques that provide anatomical, functional and molecular information about tissue function. The specific emphasis is on advancing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques for analysis of the brain. MRI has grown into a critical imaging tool for anatomical characterization of normal and pathophysiological states in human and animal models. Over the past ten years progress in sensitizing MRI to parameters related to regional blood flow has opened up the area of functional MRI (fMRI). FMRI studies are having a large impact on understanding the localization of neural function in the brain. Purpose or Objective of the Requirement: The LFMI has a requirement to procure an annual cryo cooler maintenance, parts service and support contract for the BT001199, BT001105 AND THE BT001405 units from Bruker, and Four consoles and associated probes are covered by this service contract.
