DLH to Continue Supporting Medical Research Under NIH Contract Renewal

DLH Holdings has received a potential five-year, $14 million National Institute of Health contract renewal for epidemiologic and public health research support for the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

Under the contract, DLH will offer solutions that support epidemiological research and biostatistical consultation, data management, statistical programming, data analysis, cloud computing, machine learning and natural language processing. Work will also include collaboration with the National Center for Health Statistics in planning, developing and implementing surveys.

He shared that DLH will use its Infinibyte Cloud solution, its secure data analytics solution and its expertise in epidemiology to support the institute’s mission.
