This announcement advertises the requirement previously identified under RFP NIH-ES-04-15. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting proposals using full and open competition for the acquisition of “knockout mouse” lines, mice that carry a null allele for a given gene, and include a histochemical and/or fluorescent reporter to allow analysis of the pattern of expression of the knocked out gene in mouse tissues, and related data. The Government will then distribute both the mouse lines and data to researchers worldwide. NIH will designate one or more repositories into which the mouse lines will be delivered. The depository will be authorized to transfer mouse lines to the Field of Use organizations. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) invites interested parties to respond to the solicitation available at http://www.niehs.nih.gov/dert/rcb/rfp.htm. Any questions may be directed to the Contracting Officer at [email protected]. Or may provide written comments to RCB, NIEHS, P.O. Box 12874, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709. The release date for the formal solicitation is February 22, 2005. The receipt date for proposals is no later than 4:00 PM, April 21, 2005.
