Qualified sources must demonstrate the capability to communicate appropriately with PhD-level professionals in the scientific areas listed above. Functions required to administer the program include, but are not necessarily limited to the following: facilitating proposal evaluation by top experts in appropriate scientific disciplines, assembling scientific groups to evaluate, analyze and advise on content and direction of Chemistry and Life Sciences Programs; organizing workshops to assist in the definition of new basic research areas proposed by the Chemistry and Life Sciences Directorate; providing advisors to make presentations and assist government personnel with analyzing areas of relevant science; and providing advisors to assist and advise in site visits to research laboratories. The present contract period of performance ends in Feb 00. The successful offeror will be required to work with the incumbent contractor, as necessary, to smoothly transition administration of the program; as well as be required to transition administration of the contract to a successor contractor when the contract performance period ends.
