Addressing Institutional Child Abuse

Description: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Mission Acquisition Solutions, intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for a comprehensive study of youth residential programs and institutional child abuse. The study would examine abuse, neglect, deaths, oversight, data collection, funding, alternatives to congregate care, and standards of care, with an initial report within three years and recurring reports over a total anticipated period of performance of 108 months. This is an active procurement notice rather than a grant program; quotations are not being requested, but responsible sources may submit capability statements by the stated deadline.
