GENERAL INFORMATION

Title of Project:

Annual renewal of the IDBS/ActivityBase Software Suite Statement of Need and Purpose:

NCATS is in need of obtaining a one (1) year license to ActivityBase whose software functions are vital to NCAT’s operations.

Background Information and Objective:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation’s leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improve people’s health and save lives.

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which mission it is to catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions.

The NCATS Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC) is tasked with identifying and developing novel small molecule leads against a wide spectrum of human disease targets, which it accomplishes by screening thousands of small molecules in collaboration with both intra-and extramural researchers. A In pursuit of this goal, the Center has a strong internal transdisciplinary team of scientists who continually discover novel small molecules for application against a wide range of human diseases.

As such, NCATS needs to renew its subscription to the IDBS/ActivityBase software suite. This purchase request will support our continued mission and the ActivityBase software is a critical component in everyday informatics processes and hence vital to NCATS’ operations. This software has been in production use at the NIH Chemical Genomics Center (NCATS DPI) for the past ten years. At its core, the software provides ability to process and register all compounds that go through the center’s operations. These operations include bioassay screening and support for chemical synthesis processes at the center. We are also requesting two new Chemistry licenses.

Period of Performance:

The period of performance is for 12 months, with a 12 month option period.
