Farmer, PhD) in three tasks. The Contractor will serve as a subject matter expert and co-leader of the organizational workgroup.

In addition, the Contractor will serve as an Expert Panel/Advisory Board member for the entire project, including participation in a minimum of four two-hour calls and a full day Expert Panel meeting. Lastly, the Contractor will participate in the manuscript writing and editing on three manuscripts related to the findings (one on depression and mental health integration, one on the Expert Panel results and one on the evaluation of TIDES/ReTIDES). The Contractor's unique qualifications are as follows: Dr. Chaney's expertise, background and history as the Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) on the TIDES/ReTIDEs projects uniquely qualifies him to provide the specific services needed for this project. This project is an evaluation of the use of collaborative care for depression within the VA across a ten-year period. The regional roll-out of the collaborative care model for depression within the VA was part of a series of quality improvement research projects at the VA called TIDES and ReTIDES. The current project is an evaluation of the VA HSR&D TIDES and Re-TIDEs roll-out. The tasks outlined in this request, require expertise not only in the models of collaborative care for depression, but specific historical knowledge of the TIDES and ReTIDES projects. As the Co-PI of the TIDES and Re-TIDES projects, Dr. Chaney's historical knowledge is critical for data collection and implementation. In addition, he possesses familiarity of the contextual factors that influenced the regional roll-out. As the Co-PI of the project being evaluated, Dr. Chaney is the only person who can provide the expertise needed for this project. Dr. Chaney is a recognized expert in depression care delivery and research with over 30 years of clinical and research experience at the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System. He is a retired VA investigator, Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington, and has extensive experience in studying and participating in the implementation of mental health collaborative care in primary care. Dr. Chaney has expertly performed these same services in the past for VAGLA. The nature of the work that Dr. Chaney will perform will not involve any management decisions or policy decisions for either the HSR&D COIN or the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, any quotation received IAW the attached Statement of Work by 3:00PM PST on May 5, 2014will be considered by the Government.
