Mosley, Contract Specialist, (202) 366-9570 The objective of this procurement is to develop a training module that results in less risky driving related behaviors through improved perceptual skills and decision making by young novice drivers. The module shall be designed to stand alone and be easily integrated into other related driver education activities. Procedures will be developed that will identify those facets of perceptual skills and decision making that would be appropriate to include in training for young novice drivers. Existing information and data will be used from risk taking research, current driver education programs, and other relevant sources to identify possible training needs and approaches that address these training needs. In addition, data will be collected from an adequate sample of young drivers to identify and assess their perceptions, attitudes, and decision making abilities relative to learning to drive safely, and to identify training approaches that would enhance the learning. Draft training procedures and support materials will be developed, limited pilot testing of the training will be conducted, the procedures and materials will be revised and finalized and relevant contract activities shall be documented in a Final Report. A twenty-four (24) month performance period is contemplated. Requests for this solicitation must be in writing. The anticipated issue date of the solicitation is on or about May 26, 1995. (0117)
