All proprietary/company confidential material shall be clearly marked on every page that contains such. Background The Million Veteran Program (MVP) is a national, voluntary research program aiming to study how genes affect health by building one of the world's largest medical databases by safely collecting blood samples and health information from one million Veterans. MVP is overseen by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Office of Research and Development and is coordinated by the Massachusetts Veterans Epidemiology Research and Information Center and other program units within VA. Veterans enrolled in the VA Healthcare System are eligible to participate in MVP. Participation involves providing consent, completing surveys, providing a one-time blood sample for use in future research, allowing ongoing access to electronic health records, and agreeing to future contact. Since 2011, MVP has enrolled over 500,000 Veterans into the program. Current recruitment and enrollment modalities used are invitational mailings, phone calls, paper-based surveys, and in-person enrollment activities at ~50 participating VA medical facilities and their affiliated community-based sites. A pioneer in the field of genomic research, MVP will use the data collected to facilitate research investigations on the associations between subject phenotype and genotype by combining large scale population genomic sequence information with the VA's unique data sets derived from its world class electronic health record (EHR). The ultimate goal of MVP is to enable genomic discoveries that can translate to improvements in the healthcare of Veterans and the nation at large through the delivery of care based on individual genetic, clinical, lifestyle and military-exposure profiles. Anticipated Scope of Work The Contractor shall provide a SaaS application that complies with applicable VA regulations and security standards as outlined in the requirements identified throughout Section 5 of the draft PWS. The SaaS application shall be hosted and accessible through a commercial cloud platform. The SaaS application and service(s) must be able to collect and manage large volumes of study data that will include Protected Health Information/Personally Identifiable Information, perform simple and complex data edit checking, provide robust reporting capabilities, and allow for easy data import and export. The Contractor shall provide a SaaS application that satisfies the required capabilities, features, and functionalities identified in Appendix 1 of the draft PWS. Appendix may evolve and the capabilities, features, and functionalities may be updated and reprioritized over the life of the effort. Further, the SaaS application must be configurable to meet the evolving participant recruitment, enrollment, and engagement needs of this growing, mega-cohort study.
