Job Title:

Evaluation Consultant

Purpose:

The Nebraska Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence is soliciting Requests for Proposals (RFP) from consultants experienced in building the capacity of non-profit organizations to engage in community-based participatory evaluation. Specifically, this consultant will work closely with the Coalition’s Executive Director, Prevention and Community Development Director, and Prevention Strategist to build and implement processes to evaluate the Coalition’s violence prevention strategies. The Coalition will carry out this work under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) Grant Program for statewide coalitions across the country. Work would begin as soon as possible and extend through the end of June 2025, with an anticipated renewal beyond this date based on the Coalition continuing to receive federal funds to support this work.

Scope of Services:

• Build Coalition capacity for evaluation through appropriate means, such as facilitating meetings and providing training to Coalition staff and partners.
• Develop and assist with implementation of tools and processes to evaluate Coalition and member programs’ prevention work.
• Assist the Coalition in meeting evaluation grant deliverables outlined in the Coalition’s contract with the CDC under the RPE Grant Program.
• Assist in writing grant narrative reports to summarize evaluation activities and results on an annual basis.
• Participate in monthly calls with the Coalition and the CDC.
• Travel out-of-state to attend one annual RPE Grant Program meeting with the Coalition (with airfare, ground travel, lodging, and per diem paid for by the Coalition).
• Provide ongoing support to the Coalition as they use the tools and process to evaluate its prevention work.
• Other evaluation support as needed or requested by the Coalition and allowed within budget.

Compensation:

The Coalition is seeking a contracted evaluation consultant to provide the activities outlined in the Scope of Services section of this RFP through June 2025. (The Coalition anticipates having the opportunity to renew the contract beyond this date based on the Coalition continuing to receive federal funds to support this work.) The Coalition is able to compensate the consultant up to $35,000 with the potential to go over this amount under certain circumstances, including availability of additional funds.

Timeframe:

• Proposals due: October 25, 2024
• Interviews: Weeks of November 11 & November 18
• Award date: December 2, 2024
