Bridging the gap between research and implementation.

We provide subject matter expertise and professional support from research to operations.

About Us

DART is a small, self-funded, woman-owned and operated business that provides services in research design and operations management.

DART’s two co-founders have been delivering high-quality services to US military leadership by providing subject matter expertise in health research.

Why DART?

One of the biggest challenges in health research is translating research findings into implementation and policy. The majority of small government contracting companies are either research-based or technology-based which further expands the gap between research and practice.

DART was started to help solve this problem. DART's two co-founders are highly-skilled researchers who have hands-on experience in managing large US military survey operations and health platforms. Throughout their combined 20 years of work in this field, they have been utilizing proper strategies and technologies to successfully connect and translate research into implementation and practice.

The DART Mission

DART's two co-founders are dedicated to delivering high-value services by utilizing a customer-focused approach and removing unnecessary waste to streamline business processes. This approach gives DART more resources to focus on its customers, excel at its services, and invest in its employees.
