The national institutes of health (nih), national institute on aging (nia) intends to negotiate, under authority of far 6.302-1, on a noncompetitive, sole source basis, with vanderbilt university, nashville, tennessee.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A solicitation document will not be issued, and proposals will not be requested. However, responsible sources may express their interest by submitting a capability statement or proposal. All capability statements or proposals received within this notice's response date will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to complete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Background
the baltimore longitudinal study of aging (blsa) neuroimaging cohort has a two decade record of structural, white matter, and functional (via positron emission tomography, pet) data. Over the last several years, new high resolution resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fmri) scans have been added to the blsa mri imaging protocol to accompany the ongoing collection of modern diffusion tensor imaging (dti) sequences. Together, these imaging sequences provide new avenues for mapping human brain function, including investigation of the functional connectivity and white matter integrity to better understand how networks of brain activity underlying cognitive processing change with aging and disease. The purpose of this contract is to provide the government with state-of-the art statistical approaches and analysis of white matter correlates of alterations in functional connectivity as well as functional connectivity correlates of white matter alterations, both of which are integral to mapping of human brain function.
