clinical research professional and ancillary support

The nature of the acquisition is to procure the services of Otolaryngology surgeon-scientists and other professional personnel from JHU’s Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery that possess historical knowledge and expertise with the specific services already being provided by the NIDCD. To accomplish the goals of the NIDCD Otolaryngology Surgeon-Scientist Program (OSSP), the JHU’s surgeon-scientists are proposed as the only source based on an essential requirement for their surgeon-scientists four-year history ; historical knowledge of protocols and patient surgery; their skills, expertise, close adjacency to the NIH; , and because only the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at Johns Hopkins University-Suburban Hospital and Clinics, Bethesda, MD meet the clinical care of research participants requiring surgery.Through JHU’s partnership with NIDCD via the OSSP, the only JHU otolaryngology surgeon scientists possesses the historical clinical and scientific knowledge, clinical-surgical skills, and expertise in conducting current NIDCD research protocols. They are currently Associate Protocol Investigators, and know and understand the rationale, objectives, design, and methodologies of current research protocols; including customized surgical procedures, statistical considerations, and organization of ongoing NIDCD and NIH research projects. Awarding to another hospital would jeopardize the continuity and integrity of ongoing research by generating inaccurate outcomes, and potentially endanger the health and lives of active protocol participants. The accuracy and consistency of research activities is necessary, including clinical evaluation and testing, through the lifecycle of research protocols, in order for the e measurement to provide accurate clinical outcomes and the reason why NIH is a world leader in
