2023 Accreditation Institute RFP

The Commission on Peer Review and Accreditation (COPRA) of the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA) is issuing an RFP seeking consultant(s) to present in-person educational sessions for academic program directors and faculty seeking to learn about accreditation for masters-level public service degrees.

NASPAA’s Accreditation Institute (AI) will be held in-person on October 11, 2023, immediately preceding the NASPAA Annual Conference, in Pittsburgh, PA. The Commission seeks consultants to design and facilitate four (4) online sessions of 1.5 hours each and a 1-hour site visitor orientation. The intended audience for the AI is programs that will seek to become (re)accredited within the next two years (through 2025). The intended audience for the site visitor orientation is individuals seeking initial or renewal required site visitor training needed to participate as academicians or practitioners on future site visit teams.

The due date for consultant proposals is May 15, 2023. Proposal submissions and inquiries should be sent to copra@naspaa.org.
