ALTARUM INSTITUTE

Altarum Institute specializes in administrative and management consulting services for federal health and human services programs, with deep expertise in evaluation design, evidence building, and policy implementation support. The contractor delivers research-driven solutions in biotechnology and public health, conducting surveys, data analysis, and program assessments to inform decision-making across complex social service systems. Their technical capabilities include mixed-methods research, survey methodology, performance measurement frameworks, and health equity analysis, with a focus on translating data into actionable insights for program improvement. Altarum’s work often supports large-scale federal initiatives such as nutrition assistance, organ donation outreach, and pandemic response networks, demonstrating a strong command of HHS operational environments and community-based health systems. The contractor maintains consistent engagement with the Department of Health and Human Services, where they provide strategic support for maternal and child health, aging services, and public health surveillance. They also deliver management consulting to the Department of the Interior, particularly in support of nutrition and food assistance programs, and have a demonstrated track record with the Department of Veterans Affairs on biotechnology research initiatives. Their relationship with these agencies is characterized by recurring, mission-critical assignments that require rigorous analytical rigor and policy alignment. Altarum’s primary focus lies in administrative management consulting (NAICS 541611) and biotechnology research (541714), positioning them as a niche provider of science-informed policy support services. They serve at the intersection of public health, behavioral science, and federal program administration, with vertical specialization in nutrition programs, health equity, and clinical research infrastructure. As a Michigan-based entity structured as an 8H (non-profit), Altarum operates without federal small business certifications but leverages its non-profit status to deliver mission-aligned, non-commercial consulting services. Their geographic presence is centered in Novi, Michigan, with a federal market footprint focused on health, human services, and scientific research agencies nationwide.
