- Description
- Statement of Work The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intends to award a purchase order to M. S. Ring, LLC, 4011 Brookhill Road, Baltimore, MD 21215 for Bioinformatic Consultant to support clinical data management activities for a diverse array of clinical protocols. This requirement is to obtain bioinformatic consulting via a fee for service contract to support the NIDDK DIR in support of the NIDDK clinical research investigators by providing support of clinical data management activities across the diverse array of clinical protocols in this IC. The objective is to obtain consulting services to streamline DIR investigator's access to and implementation of clinical databases for new and on- going clinical research projects while ensuring the database systems utilized by investigators are compliant with NIH guidelines and federal regulatory requirements, where applicable. This contract requires that the vendor (contractor) be already familiar with the NIH and FDA guidelines and regulations for clinical data systems. The contractor should also be familiar with the key clinical data systems utilized by DIR investigators including, but not limited to TeleResults, REDCap, NICHD's Clinical Trials Database, and NHLBI's Crimson. Working knowledge of the NLM/CC BTRIS is also required. The anticipated service hours are estimated to not exceed more than 20 hours per week on an averaged basis for the year period this contract is to be approved. The services shall be rendered Monday-Friday, excluding Federal holidays. This requirement will enable the contractor to provide cost-efficient clinical data solutions to clinical investigators when initiating new clinical protocols, or transitioning data between data systems. Specific databases include BTRIS, REDCap, and the NICHD's CTDB. Knowledge and experience working with the NIH Clinical Center's CRIS medical records systems is required. The contractor must possess working knowledge of these systems as there is no staff available to provide the training in these systems under the funds obligated via this contract; any such work required to become familiar with these systems would be required to be independently undertaken at the contractor's personal expense and time. This contract is proposed to be offered to Dr. Michael Ring as he is already very trained and knowledgeable about these required systems. In addition, through his current and previous experience working with NIDDK's DIR investigators, he is already familiar with the varied study designs and data management requirements for many of the NIDDK clinical research protocols and will not require additional time to meet with investigators to assess current data management use and future needs. Duty Station: All services rendered shall be performed in support of NIDDK clinical research initiatives at the NIH Clinical Center on the National Institutes of Health's main campus in Bethesda, MD and other NIDDK study performance sites. The sole source determination is based on that Dr. Michael Ring possess a medical doctorate in order to be fully conversant with the clinical investigator's data management and system specification needs. Dr. Ring is qualified for this role, has the required knowledge and is already familiar with NIDDK DIR clinical protocols, providing a maximum efficiency for consultations with on-going and new projects.
