Integration of the Diabetes Simulation Models into a Unified Backend Platform

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is planning to procure the integration of simulation models into a unified backend platform on a sole source basis from RTI International. The purpose of this project is to design, develop, validate, document, and deploy a unified backend platform integrating the CDS Model and SDOH Model while preserving validated functionality and maintaining separate user interfaces. The CDS Model and SDOH Model are microsimulation models used to estimate the long-term health and economic outcomes of diabetes prevention and management interventions. The models inform federal policy, program planning, and evaluation. The project requires the integration of both models into a single unified backend architecture while maintaining separate user interfaces accessible via distinct URLs. • The CDS Model includes separate Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes microsimulation models. • The SDOH Model is a microsimulation model designed to evaluate community-level policies, programs, and practices that influence risk factors for diabetes and its complications. • The models are currently operating under separate backend codebases, repositories, security scanning pipelines, and deployment workflows. • The project aims to reduce maintenance burden, regression testing requirements, DevSecOps complexity, security review workload, and risk of computational inconsistencies. • RTI International developed the two simulation models and possesses the necessary expertise to complete the tasks required for this project.
