Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to negotiate a sole‑source contract with The Geneva Foundation to provide technical research support for an ongoing VA Merit Award focused on targeted brain stimulation for traumatic brain injury. The support includes method optimization, experimental planning, troubleshooting, technical assistance, model refinement, data analysis, quarterly team meetings, manuscript preparation, and scientific dissemination for pre‑clinical work at the White River Junction VA Healthcare System. The Geneva Foundation’s existing collaboration and deep knowledge of the project make it uniquely qualified; replacing them would risk delays and increased costs. Interested parties must submit evidence that competition would be advantageous by the deadline.
