Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking proposals for the development of radiological/nuclear medical countermeasures (MCMs) and biodosimetry devices. The goals of this project are two-fold: to support the development of safe and effective MCMs to mitigate and/or treat normal tissue injuries arising from exposure to ionizing radiation, and to support the advancement of biodosimetry biomarkers and/or devices to inform triage and treatment strategies during a radiation public health emergency. Proposals must address one of these goals, and offerors may submit separate proposals for each goal. The contract will have a base period and two option periods, and the contractor will be required to submit regular technical progress reports and other deliverables.
Key aspects of the job include:
• Development of MCMs and biodosimetry devices
• Mitigation and/or treatment of normal tissue injuries from ionizing radiation
• Informing triage and treatment strategies during a radiation public health emergency
• Submission of regular technical progress reports and other deliverables
• Compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and other applicable laws and regulations
