Expansion of MOSAAIC Study for Aging-Related Health in Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Communities

This opportunity involves the expansion of the Multiethnic Observational Study in American Asian and Pacific Islander Communities (MOSAAIC) for adults aged 65 and older, funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA), both part of the National Institutes of Health. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) - National Institute on Aging (NIA) - No specific OEMs or commercial vendors are named, as the procurement is for research services rather than products. - Products/Services Requested: - Recruitment and data collection services for 1,500 participants aged 65+ from Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities - Implementation of core research protocols for the expanded MOSAAIC study - Assessment of aging-related health factors, including cardiometabolic, pulmonary, and mental health conditions, as well as social determinants of health - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Emphasis on culturally tailored data collection tools and community engagement - Support for future ancillary studies using stored biospecimens and data - Focus on aging-related health outcomes in underrepresented populations - No product line items or part numbers are specified, as the focus is on research and data collection services.

Description

This project aims to expand the Multiethnic Observational Study in American Asian and Pacific Islander Communities (MOSAAIC) cohort to include 1,500 participants aged 65 and older. The study focuses on aging concerns among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander populations, aiming to understand health outcomes such as cardiometabolic, pulmonary, and mental health conditions, as well as social determinants of health. The expansion will leverage existing infrastructure and community partnerships to enhance research on aging biology and health disparities. The project emphasizes culturally tailored data collection tools and community engagement and supports future ancillary studies using stored biospecimens and data.
