Request for Proposal
Request for Proposal – New Research
Proposals should focus on postsecondary career education with a specific emphasis on proprietary career colleges and their associated costs, benefits, and relationship to workforce gaps and needs. We plan to support the publication of unbiased and credible research that shows how proprietary career college programs compare to similar programs in other sectors of higher education. This research will help the public and policymakers gain a better understanding of the work being done at various types of career colleges and how that work impacts students, taxpayers, and communities.
