- Description
- This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice. This is not a request for technical or cost proposals. No solicitation is available at this time and requests for solicitation packages will not receive a response. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communicable Disorders (NIDCD), National Institutes of Health (NIH), has a requirement to maintain and further develop the NIDCD National Temporal Bone, Hearing and Balance Pathology Resource Registry (the Registry) that serves as a national resource for both the public and the biomedical research communities to promote research in the pathology underlying diseases and disorders of hearing and balance. The Registry serves the biomedical research community by establishing and maintaining a catalog of currently active and inactive human temporal bone and brain tissue collections and by conserving temporal bone and brain collections by brokering the transfer of tissue specimens from inactive collections to active research centers. It enables investigators to identify and locate all available processed temporal bones and related brain tissue specimens held in the United States by clinical and histopathologic diagnoses and other pertinent data so that further studies may be pursued. The Registry also provides information and outreach services to the public and to health care practitioners on the acquisition of temporal bone and related brain tissues for research purposes. Additional contract activities will continue to encourage the pursuit of research on the diseases and disorders of hearing and balance, particularly research utilizing the techniques of molecular biology and genetics and cellular biology by; 1) disseminating pertinent information to the auditory and vestibular research communities; 2) developing and fostering a program of professional education on pathology of the auditory and vestibular systems; and 3) encouraging investigator collaborations in the study of the human temporal bone and the related brain structures of hearing and balance. Technical Specifications:Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP ProfessionalDatabase: Microsoft Access A five year, cost reimbursement type contract is anticipated with an award made on or about March 1, 2009. The solicitation will be issued on or about February 11, 2009 in an electronic format only, on this web site (https://www.fbo.gov).
