INFORMATICS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGY FOR THE NATIONAL HEART ATTACK ALERT PROGRAM

Release date:  June 7, 1999

RFP AVAILABLE:   BAA RFP NLM 99-108/VMS

P.T.

National Library of Medicine

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) seeks to obtain research and
development services that demonstrate the use of medical informatics, computer
science, bioengineering, or biochemistry in health care, public health and
health education for reducing the obstacles now limiting the utilization of
therapies known to be effective if administered shortly after onset of an
acute heart attack. Particular interest is focused on facilitating early
recognition and diagnosis of acute heart attack for patient and bystanders. 
Proposed projects must include appropriate research and development plans, and
eventual plans for a strong evaluation component designated to measure
efficacy on the nation's healthcare, health education and/or research systems
in such areas as morbidity and mortality of acute heart attacks.  These
project plans represent Phase I of a three-phased program.  The NLM envisions
that some of the Phase I project plans may be implemented in Phase II via
non-competitive follow-on acquisitions, or new solicitations.  Phase III will
demonstrate the efficacy of successful Phase II projects in production via
non-competitive follow-on acquisitions.  This acquisition is for Phase I
Project Plans only.  BAA RFP NLM 99-108/VMS will be available in electronic
format only.  Paper copies will not be issued.  The BAA may be downloaded on
or about June 22, 1999 from the National Library of Medicine World Wide Web
home page.  The NLM home page URL is http://www.nlm.nih.gov/oam/oam.html.  All
responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by the
National Library of Medicine.
