Education researchers RFA is a research services nonprofit focused on improving educational opportunities for underserved students, presenting an opportunity to offer advanced research design, data analysis, and policy impact services to education providers, school districts, and postsecondary institutions seeking evidence-based improvements.

Policy and practice Their work aims to translate research into recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and the public at local, state, and national levels, signaling potential demand for consultancy, executive briefings, and implementation support across education systems.

Recent collaborations Active partnerships with universities and organizations (e.g., University of Texas at Austin, McClanahan Associates) indicate openness to joint research projects and grant-funded studies, creating opportunities for co-bid collaborations and multi-institutional program evaluations.

Funding sensitive With a revenue range of 10–25 million and past IES grant support, there is a potential for grant-writing assistance, grant management services, and procurement of research services that align with federal funding cycles and education reform priorities.

Tech and dashboards RFA maintains a technology stack and has previously launched data dashboards, suggesting opportunities to offer data visualization, analytics platforms, user analytics, or CRM/education data integration projects to enhance research dissemination and stakeholder engagement.
