• The contractor must have an established professional network of subject-matter experts in workforce development, aging policy, research, and data analysis.
• The project requires a partner who can leverage specific subject-matter expertise, established stakeholder relationships, and proven research skills to deliver a final, high-impact report with actionable policy and programmatic recommendations for the state.
