HEI Request for Qualifications and Proposals for QA Oversight (RFQP 2026)

The Health Effects Institute (HEI) Environment and Health program is seeking contractors to provide quality assurance services for their funded studies.

The mission of HEI is to provide impartial science to inform decisions that foster a healthier environment and better health for all. As accurate scientific conclusions depend on the validity of the underlying data and the precision with which it is reported, HEI uses third-party quality assurance oversight with studies that involve human subjects and other studies that have a high potential for use in regulatory decisions. The Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQP) provides details on the studies, audit needs, and application instructions.

Please note, the deadline for statements of qualifications is October 19, 2026. Applicants will be informed if they have been selected to submit a proposal, and for which studies, within two weeks of the deadline. All applicants selected to submit a proposal will be offered a conversation about expectations with HEI staff. Please distribute widely.
