Pre-Solicitation Notice
Notice No. 75N95022R00043
Project Title: The NIH National NeuroHIV Tissue Consortium – Clinical Sites
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP). THIS IS A PRE-
SOLICITATION ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY. A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS WILL
BE ISSUED VIA SAM.GOV ON OR ABOUT 15 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS
ANNOUNCMENT (ON OR ABOUT MAY 31, 2022).
Description
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) intends to solicit proposals from qualified businesses (NAICS Code 541715) to establish a National NeuroHIV Tissue Consortium (NNTC) as a critical resource for catalyzing high priority research in NeuroHIV, including studies to understand the mechanisms of HIV neuropathogenesis, aging with long-term HIV and ART, and research towards an HIV cure. The NNTC shall collect, store, and provide clinical data and well characterized biological specimens, including post-mortem tissue from study volunteers and/or organ donors with HIV as well as HIV-negative controls. It is anticipated that multiple contract clinical sites will be established from the solicitation.
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) seek to continue to support the collection and distribution of central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) biospecimens and antemortem clinical data for research on NeuroHIV.
The objective of this initiative is to provide access to post-mortem brains, related biospecimens and relevant clinical data from donors with HIV as well as HIV negative controls. The objectives also include facilitating proactive involvement of the HIV advocacy and patient communities, and more efficiently acquiring, processing, characterizing, curating, storing, and distributing biospecimens for research with the ultimate goal of reducing the burden of NeuroHIV specifically and HIV more broadly.
In order to do so, the NIH will continue to support collection sites through contracts (i.e., the National NeuroHIV Tissue Consortium (NNTC)) to provide services that will actively acquire, process, store, curate, preserve, and distribute central nervous system, clinical data and related biological specimens to qualified investigators.
