About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is issuing a Request for Information on the proposed EmbraceHEALTH Clinical Research Network (EmbraceHEALTH CRN), with responses due 4:00 PM Eastern Time on November 17, 2026. No set-aside is used, and the RFI is open to all organizations regardless of business size. It is market research only, not a solicitation, and does not request capability statements or proposals or obligate the Government to award a contract.
The network would comprise multiple Research Consortia and a Research Coordinating Center conducting hypothesis-driven clinical, behavioral, and health services research on health disparities across the United States and its territories. Work would be ordered by task order under anticipated Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with approximately five-year ordering periods. Research Consortia must pair academic institutions with healthcare settings serving high proportions of low-income and low-resourced patients, including Federally Qualified Health Centers and safety net hospitals.
NIH seeks feedback on the draft Statement of Work, commercial availability of comparable services, customary pricing, firm-fixed-price arrangements, and which portions can be met commercially versus those requiring customization. Responses are submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or PDF to Jordan Neal (jordan.neal@nih.gov) and Gannon White (gannon.white@nih.gov). The anticipated NAICS code is 541715, and a solicitation is anticipated later under a separate announcement.
