RTAC can support USAID Missions, Bureaus, and Independent Offices in a variety of ways, including:
Conducting research on cutting-edge development topics.
Packaging evidence generated by USAID-funded researchers in compelling, user-friendly communications products for a range of audiences.
Developing R2A plans to promote the use of evidence.
Designing and delivering specialized training for USAID staff, researchers, and implementing partners.
Organizing and hosting high-level expert panels and convenings for U.S. Government decision makers, implementing partners, researchers, and development funders.
Consulting on the design of USAID programs and research.
Serving as special advisors to the Agency on key development issues.
Supporting other short-term, research-based and strategic technical assistance needs.
Please note that USAID’s Research Technical Assistance Center (RTAC) has concluded. The RTAC website will be decommissioned in the next few months. Some materials will be transferred to the NORC website and the USAID Learning Lab website in the coming weeks. However, we recommend downloading any materials you would like to preserve at this time.
If you have any questions about RTAC, or the materials created through RTAC, please email miller-sutherland@norc.org.
