R -- ACCESS TO ALCOHOL TREATMENT SERVICES & SELECTIVE ENROLLMENT IN HEALTH CARE PLANS SOL AA 00-09 DUE 053000 POC Timothy Crilley, Contract Specialist, 301-443-1191 WEB: NIAAA Home Page, http://www.niaaa.nih.gov. E-MAIL: Sandra Reichard, sreichar@willco.niaaa.nih.gov. This requirement is being advertised under full and open competition. The purpose of this proposed contract is to conduct a secondary analysis of existing data to study the relationship between access to alcoholism treatment and selective enrollment in health care plans. The hypothesis of the proposed study is to be that health plans that significantly increase access to alcoholism treatment will differentially attract more enrollees who have alcohol dependence or abuse (i.e., enrollees who are more likely to utilize such service.) The successful offeror shall either posses or obtain access to alcoholism treatment services. The successful offeror shall prepare a manuscript research paper suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal. It is anticipated that this Request for Proposal will be issued on or about April 28, 2000. This acquisition is a new requirement. Requests for solicitation documents must be in writing, or via facsimile (301-443-3891) or E-mail (sreichar@willco.niaaa.nih.gov). Telephone inquiries will not be honored. All responsible concerns may submit an offer which will be considered by this agency. Posted 04/13/00 (W-SN444706). (0104)
