## Description

The mobile research vehicles (MRVs) are custom-built vehicles by LifeLine Mobile for the National Institute on Aging, HANDLS study program that need repairs and modifications. HANDLS is a study of age-related health disparities in Baltimore which uses three mobile medical research vehicles. These vehicles serve as community-based platforms for clinical research which has been ongoing since 2004. Two vehicles need repairs: MRV1 and MRV2.

MRV1 is a 50-foot customized trailer divided into three functional exam areas which can be pulled by a truck. MRV2 is a 43-foot customized self-propelled truck divided into functional areas for participant interviews, cognitive testing, and audio and vision testing. These vehicles are maintained to provide safe clinical spaces for workers and study participants. Maintenance provides cost savings to the government by upkeeping the financial investment in the equipment. The vehicles will be worked on at different times to minimize the impact to the ongoing research study.
