Fairfax, VA – In June 2019, Highlight was awarded a 5-year, $18 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide communications and outreach support services to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Extramural Research (OER).

Highlight will provide various communications and outreach support services to OER including Communications and Technical Writing Support; Website and Social Media Support; Grants Information Support; Training Support; Workshop and Seminar Logistical Support; and Technical and Administrative Support.

OER supports NIH by providing the corporate framework for NIH research administration, ensuring scientific integrity, public accountability, and effective stewardship of the NIH extramural research portfolio.

This is Highlight’s first contract with OER. Highlight has supported NIH since 2016, performing similar communications, logistical, and grants information management support to NIH’s Center for Scientific Review.

“Highlight is honored to work with NIH OER to support its important mission. We are excited to apply our successful experience in communications and outreach, as well as our successful BPA services delivery model, to a new customer within NIH,” said Adam McNair, COO of Highlight Technologies.
