PWS (Attch 7 CLIN Units Description) ID04200022 amend002 Jun 25 2020.docx

CLIN 0001: Translations

· Unit: One translation of an entire survey (inclusive of all questions), survey responses (from target language back to English), semi-structured interviews (inclusive of all questions), or interview responses (i.e., transcripts of conversation). Translation to target language would be one unit; translation back to English for analysis would be an additional one unit.

CLIN 0002: Quantitative Data Acquisition, permissive environment

· Unit: A single collection effort inclusive of all respondents required to answer a research question through quantitative methodologies in a permissive environment (as determined by the definitions of permissiveness on the Pricing Template). The number of respondents required will be determined by the power analysis provided by the vendor. Examples of a single unit include, but are not limited to, a single data collection effort to refine a target audience or a single time point of data collection required to ultimately inform measures of effect (e.g., a pre-test effort, a mid-test effort, or a post-test effort).

CLIN 0003: Quantitative Data Acquisition, semi-permissive environment

· Unit: A single collection effort inclusive of all respondents required to answer a research question through quantitative methodologies in a semi-permissive environment (as determined by the definitions of permissiveness on the Pricing Template). The number of respondents required will be determined by the power analysis provided by the vendor. Examples of a single unit include, but are not limited to, a single data collection effort to refine a target audience or a single time point of data collection required to ultimately inform measures of effect (e.g., a pre-test effort, a mid-test effort, or a post-test effort).

CLIN 0004: Quantitative Data Acquisition, non-permissive environment

· Unit: A single collection effort inclusive of all respondents required to answer a research question through quantitative methodologies in a non-permissive environment (as determined by the definitions of permissiveness on the Pricing Template). The number of respondents required will be determined by the power analysis provided by the vendor. Examples of a single unit include, but are not limited to, a single data collection effort to refine a target audience or a single time point of data collection required to ultimately inform measures of effect (e.g., a pre-test effort, a mid-test effort, or a post-test effort).

CLIN 0005: Qualitative Data Acquisition, permissive environment

· Unit: A single collection effort required to answer a research question through qualitative methodologies in a permissive environment (as determined by the definitions of permissiveness on the Pricing Template). The number of interviews or focus group members required will be based on unique research needs and recommended by the vendor based on data saturation expectations. One unit is inclusive of all respondents needed to reach data saturation.

CLIN OOO6: Qualitative Data Acquisition, semi-permissive environment

· Unit: A single collection effort required to answer a research question through qualitative methodologies in a semi-permissive environment (as determined by the definitions of permissiveness on the Pricing Template). The number of interviews or focus group members required will be based on unique research needs and recommended by the vendor based on data saturation expectations. One unit is inclusive of all respondents needed to reach data saturation.

CLIN 0007: Qualitative Data Acquisition, non-permissive environment

· Unit: A single collection effort required to answer a research question through qualitative methodologies in a non-permissive environment (as determined by the definitions of permissiveness on the Pricing Template). The number of interviews or focus group members required will be based on unique research needs and recommended by the vendor based on data saturation expectations. One unit is inclusive of all respondents needed to reach data saturation.

CLIN 0008: Automated Data Collection, permissive environment

· Unit: A single collection effort required to answer a research question through quantitative or qualitative methodologies that do not require a facilitator (e.g., crowd sourcing, SMS/MMS/email responses, etc.) in a permissive environment (as determined by the definitions of permissiveness on the Pricing Template). The number of respondents required will be based on unique research needs and a power analysis or data saturation analysis produced by the vendor. One unit is inclusive of all respondents needed to satisfy the research for the single collection effort.

CLIN 0009: Automated Data Collection, semi-permissive environment

· Unit: A single collection effort required to answer a research question through quantitative or qualitative methodologies that do not require a facilitator (e.g., crowd sourcing, SMS/MMS/email responses, etc.) in a semi-permissive environment (as determined by the definitions of permissiveness on the Pricing Template). The number of respondents required will be based on unique research needs and a power analysis or data saturation analysis produced by the vendor. One unit is inclusive of all respondents needed to satisfy the research for the single collection effort.

CLIN 0010: Automated Data Collection, non-permissive environment

· Unit: A single collection effort required to answer a research question through quantitative or qualitative methodologies that do not require a facilitator (e.g., crowd sourcing, SMS/MMS/email responses, etc.) in a non-permissive environment (as determined by the definitions of permissiveness on the Pricing Template). The number of respondents required will be based on unique research needs and a power analysis or data saturation analysis produced by the vendor. One unit is inclusive of all respondents needed to satisfy the research for the single collection effort.

CLIN 0011: Data Analysis

· Unit: The process of analyzing the data and providing the report for each data collection effort (whether quantitative, qualitative, or automated). Quarterly reports due to USSOCOM would also be considered one unit of data analysis.

CLIN 0012: User Support

· Unit: One unit is the support required for the vendor to ensure successful execution of a research requirement from the time that task begins until the completed assessment is delivered to and accepted by the requesting MISO unit. One unit of User Support includes assessment plan (with power analysis) and survey/semi-structured interview development, reach back for any questions or issues during the execution of the project, and ensuring sufficient training of the requesting MISO unit on accessing and navigating the visualization database.

CLIN 0013: Data Storage

· Unit: One unit of data storage is the amount of compute capacity required to manage, store, manipulate, present, and archive the data for an entire research project.

CLIN 0014: Data Visualization

· Unit: The cost of one user account or license. This cost includes the database management associated with maintaining the data visualization system.
