Forecast text
The National Institutes of Health needs a secure, reliable research data collection system to support rare disease studies and protect sensitive research information. The system must support electronic records and electronic signatures subject to federal requirements while allowing researchers to collect and manage study data. Required services include designing, installing, hosting, and maintaining the Research Electronic Data Capture application in a government cloud, with separate environments for development, testing, and active research use. Services must include computing resources, database management, secure storage, connection to existing institutional sign-in services, encryption, access controls, activity logging, security monitoring, software updates, vulnerability scanning, and backups retained for 30 days. The active research environment must include redundant application and database resources to reduce interruptions. The contractor must also provide continuous monitoring and technical support, incident response, controlled system changes, documentation demonstrating that the testing and active research infrastructure meets approved requirements, and audit support. These services will provide a dependable foundation for research while the National Institutes of Health remains responsible for study configuration, application validation, and approval for research use.
