The Research Technical Assistance Center (RTAC) is working to build a global network of university researchers to provide USAID with rapid, on-demand research expertise across all sectors and geographic areas. This technical assistance helps USAID Missions, Bureaus and Independent Offices (M/B/IO) make evidence-based decisions. NORC at the University of Chicago leads USAID's RTAC Consortia in establishing a network of university-based researchers. Their initial network is comprised of 254 faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and lecturers affiliated with 128 organizations that are available to support the scientific and research-based technical assistance needs for the Agency.
