Grant Description

The purpose of the Assessment and Measurement Tools RFP is to award funding to one or more Institutes of Higher Education (IHEs) to build an infrastructure within the Commonwealth for training and consultation, and materials and supports for programs in the mixed delivery system to develop skills in evidence based child assessment and screening, as well as the observational tools utilized in the QRIS to measure program quality.

Eligible Applicants

This is a competitive grant. Only Institutions of Higher Education that are able to provide the required services outlined in this RFP are eligible to apply. EEC expects to award funds to one to three vendors that are able to provide services to either the entire Commonwealth or large portions of the state (portions of the state to be determined by the applications that are submitted). EEC's preference is to award one grant to a vendor that will provide services throughout the entire Commonwealth.
