This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) to identify vendors who will provide the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) with the following system: 1. A Development vendor to implement the requirements of an Electronic Death Registration (EDR) system; 2. An Independent Verification and Validation (IVV) vendor to validate and verify that all requirements are met as implemented by the Development vendor. The sponsor will award two contracts to meet the requirements described in this RFP. Systems development will be awarded separately from independent verification and validation. Vendors are restricted from submitting proposals for both contract opportunities.

Synopsis

Synopsis

The Rubicon programme is directed at promising young postdoctoral researchers who are still at the start of their careers but whose academic strengths give them the potential to become established figures in the Dutch research world. Young researchers are encouraged to dedicate themselves to a career in postdoctoral research. It does so by giving them the chance to enhance their career prospects by spending up to two years at a top research institution outside the Netherlands or one year at an excellent Dutch research institution. The Rubicon programme also offers talented researchers from abroad the opportunity to obtain grants to spend one year conducting research in the Netherlands. Proposals will be assessed on the basis of the quality of the applicant, the research proposal and the host institution. The Rubicon programme is open to all scientific disciplines.
