Request for Information: All Learning Counts – Jan 14

Posted by Lumina Foundation on January 8, 2019

Lumina Foundation is proud to announce a Request for Information (RFI) that is designed to solicit ideas for building the learning-based system the nation needs. We want you to suggest promising practices and identify providers—including colleges and universities, employers, workforce training entities, state systems, and consortia—that are committed to incorporating all post-high school learning into transparent credential pathways for adult learners, and particularly adult learners of color.

While the primary objective of this RFI is to help Lumina better understand the current landscape, we also hope it can help us identify potential grantees.

• Funding opportunity. Lumina Foundation will support planning awards for high-potential respondents to develop full proposals for implementation grants.
• Other benefits. All respondents will inform a new body of research into recognition of postsecondary-level learning. Particularly innovative or scalable approaches will be studied by Lumina and evaluation partners. Respondents receiving planning awards will join a network of peers and receive guidance and technical assistance at live and virtual meetings. Lumina also plans to highlight achievements gained and lessons learned from these efforts.

Interested respondents should submit their RFI response on the provided form by 12 P.M. EST on January 14, 2019 to LuminaAdultLearner@luminafoundation.org.
