Bethesda, Maryland, Jan. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Emotion and Development Branch (EDB) is currently seeking a contractor for a one-year period to collect structural and functional MRI data. This work supports the mission of the EDB to study the pathophysiology, development, and treatment of pediatric mood and anxiety disorders. To be considered for the contract, eligible organizations or individuals must submit all required materials by February 8, 2018.
Contracting Officer Jeffery Brown will be judging a variety of factors when judging proposals for the work. Paramount is the proposed technical approach for the collection of vital data on pathophysiology and treatment. Key personnel, whether an individual or a group, must be pursuing Ph.D. in neuroscience or psychology, currently working within a university or scientific organization possessing a wealth of experience in MRI and demonstrated experience working with biomedical staff. Past performance history should contain at least two examples which demonstrate relevant knowledge and experience. The final criterion is of course the offered price for this service.
Complete details for the solicitation may be found on the website where the government posts federal business opportunities, FBO.gov or with more comprehensive systems such as the Advanced Procurement Portal (APP). APP provides a consolidated source of information for managing all the data to find and acquire the contract.
