Contract Opportunities

Throughout the year, ARC issues requests for proposals (RFPs) seeking contractors to support research and evaluation on topics impacting economic development in the Appalachian Region, or to assist in administering community capacity initiatives. Occasionally, ARC seeks contractors for technical projects that strengthen our internal processes to ultimately better fulfill our mission.

We plan to release several RFPs in 2025. To receive RFP announcements, sign up here.
