The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)

is planning to continue the collection and annotation of population

literature for use as a research resource.  The project involves the

systematic review of key population-related publications worldwide

supplemented by population-related materials from selected major

sources and by the subsequent preparation of citations and abstracts

for the items selected.  The Contractor will be required to scan both

primary and secondary source materials from all significant works of

central demographic relevance and prepare a complete bibliographic

citation indicating the work's range and content.  The citations will

be organized into a conceptual demographic scheme supplemented by

cross-reference by author and geographical indices for publication.

The Contractor shall have the technical ability, expertise and

judgement to prepare the Population Index and to work closely with

population, library and information agencies to assure that the

products will evolve to meet changing research needs and changing

technical capabilities.  It is anticipated that the Population Index

will be made available through the World Wide Web, at a minimum.

 

This announcement is a new solicitation.  It is anticipated that one

cost-reimbursement, level of effort contract will be awarded for a

period of five years.  RFP NICHD-DBSB-96-10 will be available

electronically on or about July 1, 1996, and may be accessed through
