The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders,

National Institutes of Health, has a requirement to identify and

evaluate factors associated with successful developmental progress

within a variety of treatment approaches for deaf children of hearing

parents.  The Contractor will specifically evaluate the variables

that are associated with communicative, cognitive, social, and

academic progress.  In addition, profiles of individual performance

will be examined across treatment approaches and factors influencing

initial placement and validity of these factors, based on outcome

data, will be examined.  These findings will be of assistance to

parents, speech-language pathologists, audiologists, teachers of deaf

children, and others involved in the selection of a communication

approach and the management of the developing deaf child of hearing

parents.  A six-year cost-reimbursement type contract is anticipated.

The solicitation is scheduled to be issued on or about September 3,

1993.  Proposals will be due 45 days after the date of issuance of

the solicitation.  All responsible sources may submit a proposal that

will be considered by the Government.
