R&D Support for Medical and Simulation Research at the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC)

The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC), on behalf of the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) intends to issue a Request for Proposals. The proposed acquisition is to perform medical modeling and simulation research for Department of Defense (DoD), homeland defense, humanitarian assistance, peace-keeping and disaster relief activities including casualty projection, medical planning factor development, identification of weapons effects both ground and shipboard-based, projection of resource requirements, database development and maintenance, and quality of life outcome studies. The mission is heavily data driven and depends upon the collection, characterization, analysis, and reporting of data from multiple sources, including both in-house sources such as the Expeditionary Medical Encounter database (EMED) and external sources such as the Military Health System (MHS), the VA, civilian/homeland defense data, tactical data, operational data, and personnel data.
