Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation’s leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improve people’s health and save lives.
The platform will provide a data sharing ecosystem for large, population neuroscience studies such as the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. The ABCD Study® is an ongoing longitudinal study that is following the development of youth enrolled when they were 9-10 years of age and followed until they are 19-20 years old. The ABCD Study has been collecting multi-modal data and making those data available with the research community since 2018 (the study launched in 2016).
Capable vendors shall demonstrate expertise in managing and expanding a research infrastructure that will be responsible for hosting the storage and access of multiple research data types from the ABCD Study, and other large datasets. This includes, but is not limited to, demonstrating the capability to share de-identified data from minimally, 12,000 research participants and the capability of storing at least 200 terabytes of data within a single infrastructure. Interested small business organizations must demonstrate the required capabilities and in-depth knowledge in the areas listed below:
- Project Management
- Operation and Database Support
- Operation and Database Support
- Software Engineering Maintenance and Extension
- Outreach and Training
