- Description
- This is a notice of intent, not a request for a proposal. A solicitation document will not be issued and proposals will not be requested. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Office of Acquisitions - Neurosciences, Station Support/Simplified Acquisitions, on behalf of the National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to the Vanderbilt University, School of Engineering, Nashville, TN for linking the relationship between brain activity and white matter integrity. It will provide statistical approaches and analysis of white matter correlates of alterations in functional connectivity as well as white matter alterations. This project will use resting state fMRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) acquired by the government. The contractor will develop new statistical approaches, including massively univariate analyses, for the combined rs-fMRI and DTI data. Vanderbilt Universit, School of Engineering, provides statistical code for neuroimaging data. There are methods for two unified regression and interference approaches, model 11 regression and regression calibration, for use in massively univariate interference with imaging data. These methods use the design matrix paradigm and account for both random and non-random imaging regressors. The period of performance is one year with the option to exercise up to two one-year option period(s.) This acquisition is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures using FAR 13 procedures, and is exempt from competition requirements in FAR Part 6. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Comments to this announcement, referencing the solicitation number, may be submitted prior to the closing date of this announcement to the NIDA SS/SA Branch electronically to the attention of Susan Nsangou, Contracting Officer at nsangous@mail.nih.gov.
