- Description
- The National Library of Medicine seeks to demonstrate the application of scalable, network aware, wireless, GIS and identification technologies to a networked health related environment. Project proposals will focus on situations that will require or greatly benefit from the application of these technologies in health care, medical decision-making, public health, large-scale health emergencies, health education, and biomedical, clinical and health services research. Projects must involve the use of testbed networks linking hospitals, clinics, the health practitioners' offices, patients' homes, health professional schools, medical libraries, universities, medical research centers and laboratories, and/or public health authorities to demonstrate revolutionary applications in healthcare, health education and medical research. These significant, network dependent healthcare, health education or research applications will demonstrate one or more of the following capabilities: 1) Self-scaling applications; 2) Self-optimizing end-to-end network aware real-time applications and/or middleware; 3) Wireless applications; 4) Nomadic application and/or applications using geographic information systems (GIS) techniques; and 5) Applications which involve advanced identification methodologies, e.g., biometrics or smartcards. These testbeds shall be designed to yield insight into three realms: first, the biomedical and social value of the proposed testbed services to the individuals served; second, insight into the potential value of these services to the health delivery, public health or health education enterprise, or homeland defense initiative; and third, insight into particular elements of future advanced network capabilities or network specifications that are required for support of these capabilities. Projects may range from being small in scope requiring small amounts of funding to very broad in scope requiring larger amounts of funding. BAA RFP NLM 02-103/VMS will be available in electronic format only. Paper copies will not be issued. The BAA may be downloaded on or about March 25, 2002 from the National Library of Medicine World Wide Web home page. The NLM home page URL is http://www.nlm.nih.gov/oam/oam.html. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by the National Library of Medicine.
