The NIH Clinical Center intends to award a sole source contract to Washington University School of Medicine for continued research on the neural mechanisms controlling eating behavior and food choice, specifically leveraging the expertise of Dr. Alexxai Kravitz. This is a notice of intent, not a request for proposal, and the statutory basis is a single responsible source. The period of performance is from September 11, 2026 through September 10, 2027. Work will be performed at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Interested parties may submit a capability statement for consideration, but no budget amount is specified.
