STATEMENT OF WORK

Board Certified Rehabilitation Physician

Background

The mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone. The NIH accomplishes that mission by conducting research in its own laboratories; supporting the research of non-federal scientists in universities, medical schools, hospitals, and research institutions throughout the country and abroad; helping in the training of research investigators; and fostering communication of biomedical information.

The NIH Clinical Center (CC) is a 234-bed federally funded, biomedical research hospital located on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The Clinical Center is the delivery setting for all NIH intramural clinical research protocols. The hospital complex consists of two main facilities that are connected to each other by "bridges". The original 14-story building is 2.5 million square feet and continues to house the clinical laboratories, imaging sciences, surgical suites, and several outpatient clinics. The new 870,000 square foot facility houses inpatient units and day hospitals. The Clinical Center accounts for about half of all NIH-funded clinical research beds in the United States and accommodates about 7,000 inpatient and 70,000 outpatient visits a year. Patients are admitted to the NIH Clinical Center from all over the world for the sole purpose of participating in a clinical research protocol.

The Biomechanics Laboratory has developed the infrastructure to support a significantly expanded research mission that requires ongoing support for extensive human subject testing.

The staff and collaborating scientists execute independent research initiatives.

The Functional & Applied Biomechanics Section at the National Institutes of Health is located in the world's largest clinical research facility - the Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center.

This laboratory has an outstanding history of technology development, translational research, and clinical applications in the field of human movement analysis for rehabilitation research and patient care.

Scope of Work

The primary goal of the rehabilitation physician is to provide excellent patient care and to advance rehabilitation science at the NIH with the aim of improving an individual’s ability to perform functional movement tasks. The activities involved are technically and administratively intensive, requiring a substantially broad knowledge of diagnostic medicine for persons with complex movement or musculoskeletal disorders, kinesiology, computer-based human movement analysis procedures, research methods, scientific writing, and administrative support processes

Statement of Work

The rehabilitation physician will work a total of 14.5 hours a week for 27 weeks a year for a total level of effort of 391.5 hours. The services provided include:

a. Clinical consultation for NIH protocols requesting gait evaluation or evaluation of other complex movement disorders through the motion analysis laboratory

b. Perform and interpret fine wire Electromyography (EMG)

c. Musculoskeletal imaging using ultrasound guided injections and interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of the brain and musculoskeletal system to support Rehabilitation Medicine Department (RMD) clinical consultation services, research support services, as well as Section-initiated research, Train others in the use of these techniques for clinical and research purposes.

d. Serve as the Medically Responsible investigator and/ or Associate Investigator on 8 active protocols in RMD and 6 protocols across 9 other Institutes (see list below of current active protocols being supported):

RMD Protocols:

1. 90-CC-0168 A Rigid Body Data Base on Human Movement

e. Perform History and Physical examinations for RMD research subjects who are patients

(have a diagnosed movement or musculoskeletal disorder).

f. Collaborate with other investigators who want to utilize RMD resources for their protocols and to assist in protocol design and implementation, interpretation and dissemination.

g. Stimulation of more patient-based research in RMD to investigate pediatric movement disorders, greater research support to other institutes and centers, as well as fostering subject recruitment.

h. Perform other tasks as requested by the Director of FAB and the Chief of RMD.

i. Provide Clinical Research Information System (CRIS) documentation of completed gait consultations requested from RMD.
