Procurement of Website Design
- This RFP had a pre-bid event.
See RFP for full details.
EDC is an international nonprofit organization that develops, delivers, and evaluates innovative programs to address some of the world's most urgent challenges. Our work includes research, training, educational materials and strategy, with activities ranging from seed projects to large-scale initiatives. EDC enjoys a worldwide reputation for its excellence in program and fiscal management and for the impact of its work.
The Learning and Teaching Division (LTD) is looking to create a website, to potentially be available in many different languages and with versions for different countries, featuring three primary components:
1.A teaching and learning portal comprising a series of learning assets addressing content related to secondary school-level introductory biology
2.Professional development courses for educators (one nonparallel, facilitated course and one self-paced course; the latter to be translated into multiple languages)
3.An online community that brings together educators and scientists, perhaps with opportunities for youth to participate off-line in events involving educators and scientists
Note: the need for complex multi-language support will grow in future phases and must be considered now. We expect to launch American and European English first, followed by two versions of Spanish, French, and Japanese. Beyond that, there will be additional languages using Latin alphabets in addition to perhaps Cyrillic/Greek.
EDC's work on this project is funded by a corporate foundation; organizations submitting proposals in response to this Request for Proposal ("RFP") have no relationship with the funder under the terms of this RFP or any resultant contract. All communications regarding this RFP must be directed to EDC.
