Nonprofit science and technology company Battelle recently landed a $107 million task order from the Department of Defense to accomplish analysis, assessment and evaluation for the cause of force health protection.
The Columbus, Ohio-based company said Monday that under the DOD Information Analysis Center multiple-award contract, it will work to help provide information and evaluations to strengthen the Navy and Marine Corps Force Health Protection Command.
“Battelle has a long-standing relationship with NMCFHPC that encompasses over two decades of demonstrated success in support of military public health requirements and a shared vision and commitment to success. We are proud to continue this work,” said Greg Kimmel, general manager of the health business unit at Battelle.
The contract dictates that Battelle utilize high-quality, low-risk scientific analysis to realize the NMCFHPC’s objective of mitigating disease and raising health standards and averages within the U.S. military. The company intends its work to help deter injuries, sickness and health hazards and encourage health and wellness across the service branches.
Battelle is expected to conduct scientific analysis for FHP aspects like health risk assessments, deployment health, health surveillance, population health and health information.
In April, Battelle won a contract to aid the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services with national consensus development and strategic planning for health care quality management, on which it will collaborate with Chickasaw Health Consulting and Rainmakers Strategic Solutions, as well as the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
Earlier this year, Battelle CEO and Wash100 Award winner Lou Von Thaer participated in a January video interview with Executive Mosaic’s Summer Myatt. You can watch the full conversation here.
