ESTABLISH REQUISITE RESOURCES FOR THE NIH BABY TOOLBOX (NBT) ACTIVITIES

背景 有广泛的早期发育评估或筛查说明。标准化、可靠的评估工具（例如，马伦早期学习量表、布里斯托早期发展量表、巴特尔发展量表等）允许对婴儿/儿童行为进行直接评估，但是它们是时间密集型的、购买昂贵的、需要受过高度训练的人员来进行管理、评分和解释，并且经常依赖于过时的规范。 范围 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，（马伦早期学习量表、布里斯托早期发展量表、巴特尔发展量表等）允许对婴儿/儿童行为进行直接评估，但是它们是时间密集型的、购买昂贵的、需要受过高度训练的人员来进行管理、评分和解释，并且经常依赖于过时的规范。美国国立卫生研究院婴儿和幼儿计划的目的（又名“NIH婴儿评估”[NBT]）是开发和全国规范一个易于管理，评分和解释的婴儿和幼儿认知，社会功能，语言，（接受性和表达性），计算能力，自我调节和执行功能，用于1至42个月大的儿童的研究和临床使用，包括直接的儿童评估（首选测量），根据需要补充父母/法律的监护人报告。为了实现这些目标，本任务订单的目的是确定和建立支持和建立NIH婴幼儿实验室（NBT）所需的必要资源，包括为研究开展、数据采集、质量和监测以及原型产品交付提供基础设施和支持所需的资源。主要职责包括确定和挑选科学和统计专家进行咨询，并确定和挑选由国家技术咨询机构实施的适当措施和硬件。还需要进行数据质量和完整性测试和保证，编制全面的数据文件，清理和核实数据，支持行政和监管要求，以及选择和保护NBT试点现场。

BACKGROUND There is a wide range of early developmental assessment or screening instructions. Standardized, reliable assessment instruments (e.g. 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to purchase, require highly trained personnel for administration, scoring, and interpreting, and often rely on outdated norms. SCOPE There is a wide range of early developmental assessment or screening instruments. Standardized, reliable assessment instruments (e.g., 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to purchase, require highly trained personnel for administration, scoring, and interpreting, and often rely on outdated norms.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 Infant and Toddler Toolbox (aka the “NIH Baby Toolbox” [NBT]) 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 and executive 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. Toward these goals, the purpose of this task order is to identify and establish the requisite resources that will be needed to support and build the NIH Infant and Toddler Toolbox (NBT), including resources needed to provide infrastructure and support for study conduct, data acquisition, quality and monitoring, and delivery of prototype products. Major responsibilities include identifying and selecting scientific and statistical experts for consultation, and appropriate measures and hardware to be implemented by the NBT. Also required are data quality and integrity testing and assurances, producing thorough data documentation, cleaning and verifying of data, supporting administrative and regulatory requirements, and selecting and securing NBT piloting field sites.
