MTRPC Request for Proposals: Registered Dietitian Services

The Minnesota Turkey Research & Promotion Council (MTRPC) is Minnesota’s turkey checkoff organization, funded by Minnesota turkey growers to support research, education, and promotion of turkey and turkey products. MTRPC invests in science-based research, consumer outreach, and education to strengthen demand for turkey while remaining fully compliant with state checkoff requirements.

To enhance the credibility, reach, and effectiveness of its consumer education and outreach efforts, MTRPC seeks to contract with a qualified Registered Dietitian (RD) to provide professional nutrition expertise and to serve as a trusted spokesperson and content developer for turkey focused initiatives.

The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from qualified Registered Dietitians or RD led firms to provide professional services to MTRPC on a contract basis. The selected contractor will support consumer education, youth and collegiate programming, foodservice and retail outreach, and public facing promotional activities that highlight the nutritional benefits and versatility of turkey.

The selected registered dietician will work with MTRPC on educational curriculum and lesson development, collegiate and professional engagement, consumer focus content development, public speaking and outreach, foodservice and retail outreach.
