APIS RFP
(NIAAA-07-08)
Summary
This is a Solicitation Notice. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has a requirement entitled "Continued Operation of the Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS)."
The APIS web site (http://alcoholpolicy.niaaa.nih.gov) is an online resource that provides public access to detailed information on a wide variety of alcohol-related public policies. Intended primarily as a tool for researchers, APIS features compilations and tabulations of alcohol-related statutes and regulations. APIS is designed to simplify the process of ascertaining the status of the law for researchers who wish to study the effects and effectiveness of alcohol-relate policies.
APIS inaugurated its public web site in June 2003. Since that time it has been updated on a continuous basis to add new policy topics, update information on policy topics previously covered, add new features and capabilities, and clarify or correct previously published information. Additional information about alcohol-related public policies is available through the links on the APIS Homepage. (http://alcoholpolicy.niaaa.nih.gov)
APIS contributes to the mission of the NIAAA by publishing data on line that supports research to (1) assess the effects of alcohol-related policies, both individually and in combination, on a wide variety of important health, social, and economic outcomes, and (2) identify and evaluate factors that enhance or inhibit the effectiveness of these policies.
Requirements and Tasks: The purpose of the APIS project is to continue the publication on the APIS web site of accurate, authoritative, detailed, and comparable information on alcohol-related public policies at both the State and Federal level.
The requirements include:
(1) identifying and acquiring accurate and detailed information on alcohol-related policies adopted at the Federal and State levels through appropriate electronic resources;
(2) describing alcohol-related policies at several levels of detail, including descriptive overviews and detailed characterizations of specific policy provisions, (including the specific dates on which such provisions became or ceased to be effective);
(3) storing the policy information, including all related descriptions, keywords, indicators, and variables in an electronic system that permits on-line search and retrieval of policy information by a variety of flexible criteria;
(4) operating and maintaining the APIS web site; and,
(5) implementing and employing rigorous quality assurance procedures to ensure the utility, reliability and integrity of the system and its various components.
