The NINDS intends to reissue its Master Agreement

Announcement/Request for Proposals (MAA/RFP) entitled: "Master

Agreement for the Clinical Evaluation of Investigational

Antiepileptic Drugs," with the intent of seeking new sources to add

to the current pool of qualified Master Agreement (MA) holders.  In

May 1991 the NINDS issued MAA/RFP No. NIH-NINDS-91-10 to renew its

Master Agreement Program for performance of future clinical

evaluation studies of investigational antiepileptic drugs through

January 1997.  In an effort to continually enlarge the pool of

qualified holders under this program, the NINDS, each year, reissues

the MAA/RFP.  Current Master Agreement (MA) holders are not required

to compete at this time.  MA's will be awarded to those sources

determined to be technically capable of performing clinical

evaluations of investigational antiepileptic drugs in tolerability

and preliminary efficacy studies, controlled efficacy and safety

trials, or both, in patients with epilepsy.  Only MA holders will be

eligible to compete for future Master Agreements Orders (MAOs) that

fund for the actual clinical evaluation of specific drugs as they

become available for testing.
