- Description
- Small Business Sources Sought Notice The mission of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. For the Institute to continue fulfilling this vital public health mission, it must foster innovative thinking and ensure that a full array of novel scientific perspectives are used to further discovery in the evolving science of brain, behavior, and experience. In this way, breakthroughs in science can become breakthroughs for all people with mental illnesses. The National Institute of Mental Health, (NIMH) Office of Fellowship Training, Division of Intramural Research (DIRP), is responsible for the administration of two graduate programs: NIH-Karolinska Institute (KI) and the University College London (UCL)-NIMH Joint Doctoral Program in Neuroscience. The office facilitates the process for eligible candidates to interview and gain acceptance into either of the two doctoral programs. Additionally, the office oversees all of the administrative processes involved with bringing accepted candidates on as fellows using Non-FTE appointment mechanism. The KI and UCL-NIMH programs are designed such that students complete requirements for their Ph.D. degree in four years, spending half their time overseas at KI or UCL pursuing research and the remaining time in an NIMH lab continuing their thesis project. The degree is awarded by UCL or KI. Purpose and Objectives for the Acquisition: To fulfill this tuition request, the NIMH requires the following: • Payment of the UCL tuition for 5 students currently enrolled in the graduate training program. The tuition payment for five (5) current students in the University College London (UCL) doctoral program to cover the school year expenses, as a provision of the MOU agreement between NIMH and UCL, NIMH must provide a scholarship for fee support at the permitted level for overseas study by the Federal Government.
