The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders,

National Institutes of Health, has a requirement to study the

feasibility of an auditory prothesis based on microstimulating

electrodes placed into the ventral cochlear nucleus.  Although this

research will be limited to animal studies, the ultimate goal is an

auditory prosthesis for deaf individuals who cannot benefit from a

cochlear prothesis.  A three-year term form, cost reimbursement

contract is anticipated.  The solicitation is scheduled to be issued

on or about September 28, 1994.  Proposals will be due 60 days after

the date of issuance of the solicitation.  All responsible sources

may submit a proposal that will be considered by the Government.
