PRISM LICENSES, HOSTING AND MAINTENANCE

国家心肺血液研究所（NHLBI）的采购办公室（OA）为产品和服务提供采购支持，从简化的材料采购到支持校内研究计划，再到复杂的研发服务采购，包括临床试验。通过合并运营采购中心（COAC），OA服务于其他几个研究所或中心（IC）的采购需求。 自2016年以来，OA已经利用PRISM 7.4的SaaS版本来标准化采购工作流程，减少工作量，提高采购流程的透明度，并自动化OA使用的其他系统。 此次收购的目的是维护PRISM许可证，以支持现有的PRISM（包括PRISM Insight和收购规划模块），托管和持续维护。

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Office of Acquisitions (OA) provides acquisition support for products and services that range from simplified acquisitions of materials to support the Intramural research program, to the complex acquisition of research and development services including clinical trials. Through the Consolidated Operations Acquisitions Center (COAC) OA serves the acquisition needs of several other Institutes or Centers (ICs). Since 2016, OA has utilized the SaaS version of PRISM 7.4 to standardize the workflow for acquisitions, reduce workload, increase transparency of the acquisition process, and automate other systems utilized by the OA. The purpose of this acquisition is to maintain the PRISM licenses to support the existing PRISM (including PRISM Insight and the Acquisition Planning Module), hosting, and maintenance on an on-going basis.
