About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health's Center for Scientific Review (CSR) requests approval to renew its DreamFactory software licenses, with an estimated solicitation release on December 1, 2026 and an estimated award on February 1, 2027. The DreamFactory secure API infrastructure automatically verifies that NIH reviewers have completed two mandatory online training modules, communicates training status to the eRA system, and restricts reviewers who have not met the requirement from accessing assigned applications. Without renewal, CSR would need to verify training completion manually for thousands of reviewers, which the source describes as impractical and carrying a higher risk of mistakes.
This New Requirement forecast is set aside for total small business under NAICS 541512, Computer Systems Design Services, with an estimated award value range of $700,000 to $1.5 million. Shirley Ruiz-Lundgren, Contracting Officer, can be reached at shirley.ruiz-lundgren@nih.gov or +1 (301) 827-7529, and Dipak Bhattacharyya, CIO in the Information Technology role, at bhattadi@csr.nih.gov.
Forecast text
The Center for Scientific Review requests approval to renew its DreamFactory software licenses. These licenses support the requirement that all NIH reviewers complete two online training modules before participating in a review meeting. DreamFactory enables CSR to uphold this policy by providing the secure API infrastructure used to automatically verify reviewer training completion and communicate training status to the eRA system. This integration ensures that reviewers who have not met the mandatory training requirement are automatically restricted from accessing assigned applications. If these licenses are not renewed, staff would need to manually verify training completion for thousands of reviewers, which is not practical and would slow down meeting preparation, increase administrative workload, and introduce a higher risk of mistakes. Without DreamFactory, CSR would not be able to reliably enforce NIH's training requirements, creating compliance problems.
