Safe Routes to School requests proposals for Health Evaluation Consultant

Application Deadline: April 1, 2008

The Safe Routes to School National Partnership (the Partnership) is seeking the services of a qualified contractor to provide consulting services at a fixed price of $45,000 to collect and analyze data, and evaluate the Partnership's Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Local School Project in 10 locations throughout the United States, in collaboration with local program contractors and volunteers. There is a 20-month time period for this work, from April 15, 2008 - December 11, 2009.

We believe that these services will be critical for advancing the body of knowledge and evidence regarding how SRTS can improve public health and how SRTS programs can be implemented successfully in disadvantaged communities with little resources.

The ideal candidate can be an individual, government agency or non-profit and will have the following qualifications:

* Experience and expertise in evaluating student health, youth physical activity or similar programs.

* Knowledge of Safe Routes to School program components and concepts.

* Formal training in evaluation methods.

* University affiliation preferred.

Interested applicants should visit the Partnership's website for more information on the position and how to apply. The application deadline is Tuesday, April 1 at 5pm Eastern Standard Time, and interviews will take place over the telephone on April 9. The Partnership thanks Kaiser Permanente for providing the funding to conduct this health evaluation.

We would appreciate if you would please forward this job announcement to your contacts.
