PROPOSALS DUE 8/23/2024 BY 5:00pmEDT for Identifying and Scaling Programmatic Technical Assistance Resources in Higher Education in Prison -- REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

Our mission at the American Institutes for Research® (AIR®) is to generate and use rigorous evidence that contributes to a better, more equitable world. In partnership with Ascendium, we are embarking on an initiative that promises to benefit the field of Higher Education in Prison through the release of open resources and opportunities for shared learning. 

We have issued a Request for Proposals that invites Higher Education in Prison (HEP) programs to submit a proposal that addresses high-leverage technical assistance needs in the field. Selected grantees will engage in a dynamic community of practice that focuses on refining, scaling, and disseminating resources to the broader HEP field. 
 

What Grantees/Recipients Will Deliver
Cohort grantees will:
• Generate Evidence -- Grantees will demonstrate the effectiveness of their resources within their unique contexts, contributing to fieldwide knowledge.
• Refine and Disseminate -- Resources will be refined for applicability in other contexts and will be shared with the broader field.
