- Description
- Sources Sought - 4857465 - Mental Health Field Research in Amish and Mennonite Communities The purpose of this acquisition is to procure contractor services to support recruitment of study volunteers from families with specific mental illnesses within Amish and Mennonite communities, perform structured diagnostic and other mental health assessments in the field, help to design and improve clinical assessment tools and establish their validity among individuals of Amish or Mennonite ancestry, and collect blood and other biological specimens in the field for use in molecular analyses. While most of the tasks will be performed by the contractor, qualified subcontractors may be engaged as needed. The Genetic Basis of Mood and Anxiety Disorders Section, within the Human Genetics Branch, NIMH-IRP, is a clinical genetics research program with both human-subjects and laboratory components. Our leadership position depends critically on recruitment of family study volunteers, competent performance of structured diagnostic assessments in the field, refinement of diagnostic procedures, and the collection of research specimens. Ongoing research is focused on volunteers of Amish or Mennonite ancestry, who must usually be ascertained, enrolled, and assessed in the field.
