Amendment #3 Diabetes Risk Across Women’s Lifespan: A Study of Long-Term Health Implications of Glucose Intolerance in Pregnancy

Clarifications

Q1. I have about 8 key people who have CV’s that are 40+ pages each. Do you need the full CV’s? I know you confirmed you do in Amendment 1; however, it seems it will be rather lengthy.

A1. Yes, we do need the full CV’s. You can make them double sided which would shorten the length.

Q2. Can you clarify if our institution should answer the Security Plan questions under the assumption that the DCC will create/host the database and our institution will interface and upload data via teleform to the DCC?

A2. Yes, the assumption is correct. There is still a requirement for how the data stored by the institution will be protected. The SOW identifies the eligibility and recruitment database that must be maintained and it will have identifying information.

Q3. For questionnaires going to the Data Coordinating Center, can we assume that the DCC will cover the cost of printing, scanning and processing the data?

A3. As stated in Amendment 1, Q6, Offerors can budget this, but need to specify this in the budget.

Section L. c. 14. Technical Proposal Instructions, Information Security should be changed as follows:

Overall Level should be changed from Low to Moderate
