Period of performance: 07/01/2021 through 09/30/2021

Basic description of the requirement: The NJ WRIISC AHBPCE seeks a contractor capable of hosting an online event in 2021 to address current research and clinical care needs as they pertain to deployment-related respiratory diseases in Veterans. Currently identified needs include non-invasive diagnostic methods, refined terminology to define respiratory conditions, and addressing research gaps which are preventing the full understanding of relationships between deployment and the development of various respiratory diseases. Addressing these needs will allow for more thorough evaluation of Veterans presenting symptoms of deployment-related respiratory diseases and more definite diagnoses, further leading to more effective treatments. AHBPCE would like to address these needs by convening a panel of experts during this summit and generating consensus through use of the Delphi method.

The contractor shall provide all personnel, materials, supervision, non-personal services, and other items necessary. The contractor will be responsible for facilitation of a consensus building summit by identifying expert facilitators to guide Delphi method approach and discussion around this subject matter, preparing format and topics for summit discussion, contacting summit participants for preparation and guiding rounds of discussion as needed before/during/after summit, ensuring coverage of all relevant topics and participation from all invitees, and assisting in preparing reports and developing a toolkit based on outcomes established during the summit.
