Surveillance of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension in the United States


Background

  1. Provide statistical analysis of the clinical data, under the general guidance of the Scientific Steering Committee.
Because the Scientific Steering Committee meets only periodically, it must be able to delegate full responsibility for day-to-day implementation of this work to the data coordinating center. In view of this, offerors will be evaluated on their demonstrated ability to direct scientific research, as well as on their ability to carry out the specific tasks requested.

Funds for this work will be provided by Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories in the form of grant to the Harvard School of Public Health, which will handle all administrative aspects of the contract.


Dates of Work

The anticipated date of beginning work is September 1, 1997, with submission of clinical data to start no later than January 1, 1998. If the project is not extended, the close of data collection will be June 30, 2001, with any final reports and a final, intact, complete, accessible, and fully documented data base deliverable by the August 31, 2001.
