The National Academy of Sciences has issued a request for proposal for communications firms that can help the Washington, D.C.-based science and technology agency promote key messages from a forthcoming study on proactive policing policies.
NAS, which provides independent, objective advice to the U.S. government on science and technology-related matters, produces between 200 and 300 reports each year.

NAS wants an agency that can develop and execute a strategic communication plan for the purpose of increasing awareness among policymakers, law enforcement professionals and the public regarding findings in a June consensus study on policing policies that prevent and reduce crime.
Scope of the work would include primary audience identification, message development and formation of a strategic communications and outreach plan, implementing that chosen plan, and the creation of a possible calendar of events and activities.
Proposals should include a proposed strategy for the work, examples of similar creative work or relevant experience with criminal justice related topics or for clients associated with the criminal justice industry, and a staffing roster with brief statements regarding members’ training and background.
Budget for the project is approximately $100,000, varying on the communications activities undertaken.
Effective commencement date for the communications contract is June 12, with the work to end on December 31.
Proposals are due by May 1.
Contact is Dorothy Yee, subaward administration manager of the NAS's Procurement Services & Subward Administration, [email protected].
