The objectives of this contract are to collect, process, and analyze data for the VEB, NCI through the use of technical, managerial, and clerical support. The contractor will function in a supportive role carrying out specific tasks and will not engage in independent research. Any ?designing? or ?developing? mentioned within the scope of work does not imply research activities but will be only for the purpose of assisting the staff of the NCI in support of the main objectives of the contract. Specific objectives include providing various levels of support (except for retrovirus and immunologic testing of specimens) for a number of epidemiologic studies involving case-control, cohort, or observational designs, as well as analysis of large public access databases. Several specific projects will be outlined in the statement of work. Specific objectives also include a number of support activities that cut across individual projects including: providing educational materials to clinicians, assuring the adequate protection of human subjects, establishing liaison with and obtaining clearances from all necessary parties and organizations, management and tracking of specimen shipments and laboratory data, statistical analysis of data under the guidance of NCI staff, and providing financial management and advice to the NCI Project Officer for optimal use of available funds based on sound budget projections. The types of activities needed in the conduct of the studies can be divided into nine tasks: (1) initiation, liaison and administrative management, (2) word processing and computing, (3) development of study materials and procedures, (4) identifying and tracing study subjects, data collection and monitoring, (5) laboratory aspects involving biologic specimens, tests and laboratory data, (6) data preparation, (7) data processing, (8) data analysis, and (9) documentation, monitoring, quality control, and priority actions. Other services to be provided by the contractor will be discussed in detail in the solicitation document. Offerors must display the ability and willingness to meet with NCI investigators on short notice in the Washington D.C./Metropolitan Area. Offerors must also display the ability to provide support for field studies that are conducted internationally. It is anticipated that one incrementally funded, cost-reimbursement, term type contact will be awarded for a period of five years, with a required total level of effort of 155,000 direct labor hours.
