What is an evaluation RFP?
RFP stands for request for proposal. These documents describe the need for an evaluator to work with a project or organization and solicit a work proposal. As the liaison between ATE grant seekers and evaluators, EvaluATE created the ATE Evaluation RFP Repository for ATE projects and grant seekers to post calls or requests for proposals (RFPs) to find and eventually hire evaluators willing and able to work with them on their ATE project. Conversely, this is also a place for evaluators to find ATE RFPs.
