Kessler Foundation Invites Proposals to Conduct Employment Status Survey of People With Disabilities
mke...@westga.edu
The Kessler Foundation is seeking proposals from qualified public and nonprofit teams experienced in survey research and design to conduct a comprehensive survey on the employment status of working age persons (ages 18 to 64) with disabilities.
The objective of this nationally representative survey is to inform the general public, disability advocates, the business community, government, funders, and others about the status of employment for individuals with disabilities. This information can be used for research, employment recruitment and hiring, policy development, and grantmaking. Candidates are expected to design the survey instrument as well as sampling and data collection methodologies; select or acquire survey samples; collect, process, and analyze data; and prepare a written report of survey results.
The project is expected to begin on or about June 1, 2014, and must be completed by April 30, 2015. Survey results will be released publicly in July 2015 for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Organizations may apply for a one-year grant of up to $500,000.
