SIN 541611 —AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Abt is recognized worldwide for its pioneering methodologies and consulting expertise that helps clients use information to plan, assess, implement, communicate, evaluate, and improve programs or services. The lessons learned from our 50-year portfolio of diverse consulting projects have taken Abt in new directions and are ensuring that resources for social programs in the U.S. and around the world are spent effectively and wisely. Abt’s qualifications in integrated consulting services is provided in greater detail below.

Study Design, Data Collection, and Analysis Abt has a staff of nationally-recognized sampling and statistical experts known for their ability to meet clients’ needs for reliable and representative samples. We are leaders in developing cost-effective and innovative samples that meet the most demanding requirements. Staff members regularly publish in major journals and present at major professional conferences, such as the American Statistical Association and the American Association for Public Opinion Research. Several serve on high-level professional panels, such as the AAPOR Cell Phone Task Force.

Our expertise includes design of the following types of samples:

· Address-based samples (ABS)

· Face-to-face area and national probability samples

· Dual-frame RDD/cell frame samples, including national, state, and small area

· Hard-to-reach populations, including multi-frame samples

· Specialized samples, including health care providers, educators, students, business decision makers, and program participants

· Randomized trials

· Complex sample designs, including weighting and variance estimation

· Statistical modeling

· Non-response bias studies

Questionnaire Development, Cognitive Testing, and Qualitative Research Abt instrument design experts work closely with clients to clearly identify research objectives and design survey instruments that achieve those objectives. We employ literature review, expert review, cognitive testing, and careful pretesting in instrument development. We have on-staff experts in cognitive testing, pretesting, and qualitative research, including in-depth interviewing and focus group moderation.

These instruments help ensure that that the instruments used with respondents are as effective as possible:

· Cognitive testing investigates how well questions perform when asked of survey respondents. It tests the extent to which respondents understand a question correctly and if they can provide accurate answers. Testing enables researchers to modify and improve question items that are misunderstood by respondents or that are difficult to answer prior to fielding the survey, thereby increasing the overall quality of survey data.

· Focus groups are a form of qualitative research often used to illuminate underlying issues and better understand the full dimensions of the research. Abt conducts traditional in-person focus groups, mini groups, and online focus groups.

· In-depth qualitative interviews are an open-ended, exploration method to allow the interviewer to deeply explore the respondent’s feelings and perspectives on a subject. This results in deep understanding of the research issues, which can shape and/or refine questionnaire items.

Customer Satisfaction Surveys What do customers really think and do? Abt has over 50 years of experience developing and implementing successful customer measurement programs that target retail/residential and business customers. We have worked in many fields: Restaurants, Financial Services, Telecommunications, Electric Utilities, and Health Services, among others.

We consider customer satisfaction and loyalty measurement among our primary areas of expertise. Thus, we have and will continue to invest heavily in the people, technology, and methods to:

· Provide flexible feedback channels that fit customers’ ever-changing communication habits

· Provide deeper insights and Improve the actionability of results

· Motivate employees to change behavior

· Improve the overall customer experience.

Our portfolio of services has evolved rapidly to address the broad range of business factors that influence the customer experience. Because employees have an impact on the customer experience, we have also developed new tools to guide hiring practices, retain employees, improve training effectiveness, and identify the most important links between employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction.

Geographic Information Systems and Global Positioning Systems Abt offers advanced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) capabilities to all survey research projects and clients. GIS is a system for data management, visualization, analysis of data referenced to geographic locations. Abt is an industry leader in the application of GIS technology and methods for survey research.

GPS Data Collection Abt GIS has extensive experience in the utilization of GPS technology for survey data collection efforts. In the greater Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Dallas regions, thousands of personal GPS devices have been deployed to survey participants, recording all travel movements. This precise data collection for every one second of travel activity results in millions of GPS data points for survey projects, generating rich datasets that add value to regional planning. Customized Abt GIS algorithms developed for processing the millions of GPS data points are applied to identify travel patterns and create regional travel reports utilized by regional planning agencies and travel modelers.

Real-Time Field Survey Mapping Abt GIS provides support to survey projects with field interviewing components through the use a real-time customized mapping application for tablet computers. The touchscreen interactive mapping application assists field interviewers with live updates on sample plans, interviewing locations, GPS coordinates and base street network. The mapping application has been used extensively throughout the nation on recent high-profile survey efforts. Abt hosts GIS servers publishing secured data updating hundreds of interviewers with tablets PCs anywhere in the nation. This mapping application and use of tablets in the field allows for adjustments to sample plans, data, and targets in real-time for project needs.

Geographically-Targeted Studies Through the use of GIS methods, Abt customizes survey projects to meet specific project needs. Study areas are created specific to project needs of Census Tracts, Zip Codes, distances from exact places, coast lines, built environment patterns, or demographic trends. Boundaries of natural events such as wildfires, floods, and tornados are quickly mapped and survey project plans and boundaries are created accordingly. Abt GIS provides expertise on “geo-statistics” for validity of sample plans with spatial analysis, data visualization, and statistical methods.

Experimental Evaluations A cornerstone of Abt’s mission is to improve the education, housing, and health outcomes of people worldwide. Abt staff advance this mission by pioneering and refining new evaluation methodologies to meet society’s need for evidence-based practices, including the use of rapid cycle analytics.

Data Collection Capabilities Abt has extensive, in-house capabilities in all interviewing modes for data collection. Government, foundation, and academic clients turn to us for large-scale, rigorous, complex, and often sensitive data collection because our in-house capabilities ensure high quality, rapid turnaround, and close accountability.

Abt staff advance this mission by pioneering and refining new evaluation methodologies to meet society’s need for evidence-based practices, including the use of rapid cycle analytics.

Rapid Cycle Evaluations (RCEs) measure the effectiveness of interventions more rapidly than traditional evaluations and provide ongoing feedback to program implementers to support continuous quality improvement. RCEs typically apply rapid-but-rigorous methodologies that blend quantitative and qualitative research approaches.

These approaches are designed to provide reliable impact estimates and an understanding of how the interventions affect program participants. This information is used to adjust the interventions as needed and improve the chances of program success. Thus, unlike traditional evaluations, RCEs blur the lines between evaluator and program implementer, placing evaluators in the role of influencing the ongoing implementation of programs.

Strategic Planning and Consulting Services To meet both short- and long-run objectives, strategic planning is the key to organizational performance. To assist with strategic planning, Abt works collaboratively with clients to understand their organization, its goals and objectives, and the resources and constraints for operating efficiently.

Business improvement services provided through program audits/evaluations and organizational assessments help our clients decide whether the benefits of a program outweigh the costs. We also help managers restructure and refine programs to make them more efficient. We develop performance measures and indicators for monitoring program activities against goals and objectives. Performance measurement systems are central to implementing, monitoring, and modifying the strategic plan. Of course the foundation of a performance measurement system is to determine if organizational resources are being efficiently applied to satisfy the organization’s mission.

Facilitation Services As part of our work with public agencies, we implement many problem-solving techniques in order to assist our clients in addressing issues relating to the improvement of management, organizational and business delivery issues. We frequently facilitate group meetings of essential stakeholders and/or agency staff. We have routinely been asked to organize and facilitate Community Task Forces. In this politically-charged setting, we take an active part in the meetings, helping the group to establish an agenda, identify both common ground and differences of opinion, and find a balance among competing priorities. In other cases, our role has been to facilitate internal decision-making processes.

Our staff is also accomplished at facilitating focus group meetings, where the goal is to stimulate an in-depth discussion of an issue and collect information about participants’ views. In recent years, we have led focus group discussions of groups of mortgage lenders, realtors, landlords, housing counselors, borrowers under HUD’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program, chief financial officers of hospitals, public housing residents, participants in welfare-to-work programs, stakeholders in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations, and individuals at high risk of contracting HIV and AIDS, to name a few. Our approach to focus group facilitation typically entails videotaping and/or audiotaping the session. Depending on the needs of the client, a verbatim transcription may be prepared. In all cases, a written summary of the proceedings is produced.

Research, Monitoring and Evaluation Drawing on state-of-the-art research, monitoring and evaluation methods from a range of technical expertise, Abt ensures its clients are effective and on the leading edge of policy change and program impact. We help answer questions like—What are the most promising approaches to address current policy challenges? Do those approaches actually help? Are they cost-effective? Given that a program can work, is it being implemented well? What’s its impact? Will it work in another context?

We perform research—using qualitative fieldwork and theoretical perspectives from psychology, economics, and organizational behavior—to identify policy problems and promising approaches. We conduct evaluation—using random assignment, non-experimental designs, and qualitative methods to establish whether programs work, test innovations, and determine cost-effectiveness. We design monitoring systems—so program managers implement their programs to achieve maximum impact.

Our ability to draw on our global experience and our involvement at each stop of the continuum—research/ evaluation/monitoring—gives us a richer perspective, allowing us to provide more insightful products for our clients. Several strengths set us apart:

· Technical expertise in public health, economics, demography, epidemiology, sociology, political science, management, communications, and market research

· Application of a mix of state-of-the-art qualitative and quantitative methods

· Ability to adapt rigorous approaches to low-resource environments

· Proven record in applying findings to program and policy implementation worldwide

· Comprehensive network of research partners around the world.

Information Technology Applications and Analytical Computing Abt assists clients in leveraging information technology and executing sophisticated analyses to further policy development. We expand the frontiers of the use of technology in research and international development while adhering to all applicable standards and best practices for interoperability with existing systems and information security. Abt’s internationally recognized experts in data management and analytic computing develop effective and elegant programming solutions to specific, often complex problems.

Data Systems, Applications, and Visualization Our IT Solutions experts offer clients ways to use technology to collect and visualize data and support a wide range of automation to extend the impact of their programs or research activities. We can turn your ideas into reality on the web or as a native app. We have developed projects using multiple user permissions, offline support, intuitive user interfaces, and data harmonization. We can help you tell a story with data. We can turn your raw numbers into actionable, inviting, and interactive displays.

Data Science and Analytic Computing Our data science and analytic computing experts are widely known for their skill in using advanced statistical modeling, simulations and predictive analytics in our research and evaluation.

Websites and Mobile We have developed more than 60 websites in recent years, from the basic to the advanced. Our sites use responsive design, HTML5, CSS 3, and are 508 compliant while still supporting older web browsers often found in many government offices. We have worked with smartphones, tablets, feature phones, and basic phones; text messaging and voice calling; and applications.

E-Learning Education should be enjoyable, compelling, and interactive. We build digital products that treat learners as people, not robots. We tailor our trainings to match the specific cultural expectations and needs of the specific target audience.

Cybersecurity Security should not be a roadblock but instead a partner that helps projects operate without incident. We employ CISSP-certified security professionals who support the entire project, system, and application lifecycle from compliance requirements like FISMA, FERPA and HIPAA to security operations and monitoring.

Social Marketing and Behavior Change The goal of Abt’s Social Marketing and Behavior Change Practice is to improve the quality of life for our constituents. Our multidisciplinary team works across domestic and international programs to ensure people are served in meaningful and lasting ways.

We use a science-based approach. We start with research and a situation analysis, followed by audience segmentation, objective setting, message and program development, channel and tool selections, a management plan, and monitoring and evaluation. We then draw on a whole-system perspective by combining communication approaches, behavior change theories, and formative research in a methodology that incorporates interpersonal communication, community mobilization, mass media, and policy advocacy. To improve conditions, we aim to improve knowledge, shift attitudes, and facilitate the adoption of policies and practices to improve health, protect the environment, increase agricultural productivity, and improve the economic well-being of low-income populations.

Program Evaluation Services (SIN Subgroup) Abt is a global leader in conducting program evaluation. We bring decades of experience working with federal and other clients to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of programs and policies. We deploy systematic data collection techniques and apply rigorous and flexible methods across a wide range of policy areas, partnering with clients as well as the organizations/agencies and people at the core of the programs and policies we evaluate. Our high-quality work always aligns with Office of Management and Budget expectations regarding relevance and utility, rigor, and independence and objectivity, while upholding the highest ethical standards and practices.

SIN 541620—AREAS OF EXPERTISE

The skills required for environmental planning projects are as diverse as the projects themselves. Thorough execution of such projects may include some, or all, of the following: identify, collect, develop, and interpret data; prepare human health risk and environmental impact evaluations; prepare regulatory and economic analyses; design and execute surveys; analyze comments; and prepare material for public meetings. We discuss Abt’s qualifications under each of these topics in greater detail below.

Risk Evaluations Thorough assessments of multimedia risk and risk screenings provide essential information for setting environmental priorities, both at a facility level for individual company goals and at a national level to focus public policy development. Abt can provide expertise in both human health and ecological risk assessments.
