The goal of the Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-IV-Pediatric (REDS-IV-P) program is to evaluate and improve the safety and availability of the blood supply as well as the safety and effectiveness of transfusion therapies with attention to not only adults but also neonates and children who need transfusion. REDS-IV-P is a seven-year multicenter program in the US and in Brazil charged with conducting epidemiologic and laboratory studies in blood donors and transfusion recipients. REDS-IV-P is divided into 3 phases: 1) Phase 1 (Years 1-2) includes development of the REDS-IV-P research protocols, the development and pilot of a linked donation-component-recipient (vein to vein) database, the conduct of phase 1 research studies, and the conduct of data analyses using existing transfusion databases; 2) Phase 2 (Years 3-5) includes the conduct of phase 2 research protocols, compilation of the vein to vein database and data analyses, and dissemination of findings through presentations and publications; and 3) Phase 3 (Years 6-7) includes dissemination of findings through presentations and publications, closure of databases, and provision of all deliverables to NHLBI.The domestic program consists of 4 research sites within the United States which are referred to as Domestic Hubs and are supported by a data coordinating center (DCC) and a central laboratory. Each Hub has a blood center and transfusion services that serve several specialty care and community hospitals participating in REDS-IV-P (total of 22 hospitals). This contract is for the base period of phase 2 for one of the domestic hubs.
