Ascend Project Management LLC

Ascend Project Management LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Spring Creek East Township, Missouri, operates as a subrecipient on federal health grants focused on community health worker capacity building and chronic disease management, with no prime contract or grant awards in the source data.

Ascend is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business organized as a limited liability company sole proprietorship. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of sub-grant work under Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services as the prime grantee, with funding flowing from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All three awards in the source span health and human services programs: a January 2023 sub-award supporting diabetes self-management education and support programs via telehealth in underserved areas; a July 2023 sub-award providing management, facilitation, and oversight for the Community Health Worker Initiative to build capacity and infrastructure to enhance and stabilize the community health worker field for COVID-19 pandemic and chronic disease mitigation; and an April 2025 sub-award continuing management and facilitation for the same Community Health Worker Initiative. Combined dollars obligated across these three sub-grants total $838 thousand.

Activity is sparse and episodic across the source window (two awards in 2023, one in 2025), with no visible growth trajectory. The vendor serves a single effective customer, CDC, through a single prime relationship with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Ascend's capability portfolio as rendered in the source centers on grant program management, facilitation oversight, and capacity-building execution within community health and chronic disease prevention programs — work that has no visibility into contract vehicles, IDIQs, or federal service offerings beyond its current sub-grant niche.
