IEDC is releasing a Request for Proposals for a Research + Systems Mapping Partner to support the Economic Recovery Corps (ERC). 

Proposals are due by 5:00 PM Eastern on March 3, 2026.

 As ERC’s inaugural cohort concludes, we are seeking an independent, third-party research partner to conduct structured interviews, cross-ecosystem analysis, and systems mapping to distill insights about effectiveness, implementation factors, and scalability. The total budget for this engagement is up to $50,000.

Importantly, we are looking for entities without a current affiliation with ERC so they may serve as an objective third-party evaluator.

In addition to strong qualitative and systems analysis capabilities, we are especially interested in partners with demonstrated competencies in:

  • Narrative synthesis and impact storytelling
  • Translating complex systems insights into clear, actionable communications
  • Developing communication products that resonate with funders, policymakers, and other decision-makers
  • Designing engagement strategies or multimedia approaches that bring findings to life

Our goal is not only to surface rigorous insights, but to ensure those insights are translated into compelling products that can shape field practice and inform future investment.

If you or an organization in your network has the experience outlined above, we encourage you to review and respond to the RFP.

Questions may be directed to me at [email protected] by 5:00 PM Eastern on February 23, 2026.

We appreciate your help in sharing this opportunity broadly.
