The work of the Contractor will include responding to technical queries, making modifications to the previously built system as requested, and maintaining compatibility over time as the BLSA study protocols and other NIA systems evolve. The work of the Contractor will facilitate the continued storage and integration of study data as well as public sharing. Maintaining the modern BLSA data system preserves study data in line with FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles. The period of performance shall be twelve months.
