The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order for overseeing the collection of data for rabies surveillance in Peru.

The purpose of this project is to collect high-quality data from the field to evaluate three CDC-developed tools related to rabies risk and transmission dynamics to allow for better implementation and management of rabies surveillance programs. We expect to procure evaluation reports on three CDC-developed tools and collect at least 300 rabies case-management reports to improve functionality of CDC-developed rabies transmission models. CDC will analyze the data collected through this contract to revise national and international standards and best practices for rabies surveillance programs. The results will allow for a globally applicable tool to expand to all CDC country office projects.

Tasks include:

1) Assist in the procurement of required supplies necessary to perform tasks

2) Ensure that a cadre of trained surveillance officers are available to perform data collection and operate standardized electronic data collection tools

3) Utilize CDC-developed rabies investigation tools for investigation of suspected human rabies cases, leading to collection and provision of high-quality human rabies surveillance data

4) Complete program and tool evaluation reports for the following: REaCT Tool, Verbal Autopsy for Human Rabies Investigation Tool, Dog Population Enumeration Tool, Dog Vaccination Tracking Tool.
