The purpose of this requirement is to develop and expand the research capability among graduate students and faculty in schools of nursing, and to develop and expand the basis for clinical practice in genetics among advanced practice nurses. The training course conducted by the Foundation for Advance Education in the Sciences, is an intensive, one-month training research course designed to provide a foundation in molecular genetics for use in research and clinical practices. The period of performance shall be from June 6, 2011 through July 1, 2011, Monday through Friday from 9:00am - 6:00pm (except for possible changes to the schedule).

The sole source determination is based on the fact that the Bio-Trac program created by FAES provides the lecture and hands-on laboratory training for the NINR SGI program since its inception, its an extensive series of post-graduate level hands-on biotechnology training courses give by FAES at NIH every summer. These courses are open to the scientific community and are taught by active researchers (over 250 participating scientists) in our teaching facillity at NIH. There are 41 different training courses offered a year in different disciplines of molecular biology. The programs has over 12,000 scientists who received training in the Bio-Trac biotechnology training program.
