The Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) plans to award a sole source contract to the American College of Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) for its Medical Research Fellowship Program. This partnership leverages ACOEM’s expert physician consultants to provide specialized medical expertise in occupational health and safety related to commercial motor vehicle operations. The program will involve expert ACOEM physicians, as well as less experienced members working alongside experts, conducting research projects aimed at enhancing safety in the commercial motor vehicle sector. FMCSA and ACOEM will jointly select Medical Fellows for the program, with ACOEM responsible for publishing the research findings. The fellowship program is designed to foster new interest and engagement among occupational health and safety physicians committed to reducing commercial motor vehicle-related injuries and fatalities. This collaboration supports FMCSA’s mission by promoting research that informs safety policies and practices. The contract, identified by solicitation number DTMC75-09-Q-00043, is managed by the Office of Acquisition Management within the Department of Transportation and is primarily facilitated through contacts including a Contract Specialist and a Contracting Officer based in Washington, DC. The program represents a focused effort to combine expert medical research with government oversight to enhance commercial motor vehicle safety outcomes.
