Hello Colleagues,

The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History is seeking an independent contractor to provide administrative and project management support to the Global Genome Biodiversity Network<https://www.ggbn.org/ggbn_portal/> General Secretariat Office for all GGBN activities.  The contract period is for 12 months with options to extend.


The Global Genome Biodiversity Network is an international network of 99 institutions from 35 countries that share an interest in long-term preservation of genomic samples representing the diversity of non-human life on Earth. GGBN provides a platform for biodiversity biobanks from across the world to:
*         Collaborate to ensure consistent quality standards for DNA and tissue collections,
*         Improve best practices for the preservation and use of such collections and
*         Harmonize exchange and use of material in accordance with national and international legislation and conventions.

The Global Genome Biodiversity Network provides its members with the primary benefit of making their DNA and tissue collections discoverable for research through a networked community of biodiversity biobanks. In doing so, GGBN provides trusted and transparent access to genomic samples for all, through an access and benefit sharing framework.

Qualified individuals are invited to review the attached Request for Quotes (RFQ) and Statement of Work (SOW) for specifics. Details on what to include in the quote package and how to submit it are available in the RFQ.

Responses are due Monday, February 28th, 8am EST. Applicants should register as a federal contractor in the System for Award Management (SAM)<https://sam.gov/> concurrently to responding to the RFQ.
