The organization's extensive portfolio includes significant contracts with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration, and the Health Resources and Services Administration, demonstrating established capability in managing large-scale data collection, statistical analysis, and secure research infrastructure.
