TASK ORDER 5: MAKE READY THE NIH BABY TOOLBOX FOR END USERS: FINALIZE ALL PARTICIPANT-LEVEL DATA COLLECTION, ANALYSES, AND DISSEMINATION

有各种各样的早期发育评估或筛查工具。标准化、可靠的评估工具(例如，贝利婴幼儿发展量表、马伦早期学习量表、Brigance早期发展量表、Battelle发育量表等)允许对婴儿/儿童行为进行直接评估，但它们时间密集、购买昂贵，需要训练有素的人员进行管理、评分和口译，而且往往依赖过时的规范。NIH婴幼儿工具箱“[NBT])(以前称为NIH婴幼儿工具箱)”的目的是开发一个易于管理、评分和解释的婴幼儿评估表，对1-42个月大的儿童进行认知、社会功能、语言(接受性和表现性)、算术、自我调节、执行功能和运动功能的评估，用于研究和临床应用，其中包括直接的儿童评估(首选测量)，并根据需要由父母/法定监护人报告补充。该合同将支持完成所有参与者级别的数据收集、分析和传播，并完成NIH婴儿工具箱应用程序/工具，供研究和临床科学家最终用户使用。

There is a wide range of early developmental assessment or screening instruments. Standardized, reliable assessment instruments (e.g., Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Mullen Scales of Early Learning, Brigance Inventory of Early Development, Battelle Developmental Inventory, etc.) allow for direct evaluation of infant/child behaviors but they are time intensive, expensive to purchase, require highly trained personnel for administration, scoring, and interpreting, and often rely on outdated norms. The purpose of the NIH Baby Toolbox” [NBT]) (previously known as the NIH Infant and Toddler Toolbox) “is to develop and nationally norm an easy to administer, score, and interpret infant and toddler assessment inventory of cognition, social functioning, language (receptive and expressive), numeracy, self-regulation, executive function, and motor function for research and clinical use in children between 1- to 42-months of age that will include direct child assessment (preferred measurement), supplemented as needed by parental/legal guardian report. This contract is to support finalize all participant-level data collection, analyses, and dissemination, and to complete the NIH Baby Toolbox app/tool ready for use by research and clinical scientist end users.
