We have been awarded more than 30 Training Orders from CDC for these courses, and in a recent Fiscal Year we taught 11 courses, some more than once. Courses taught by our instructors have consistently received excellent evaluation scores from participants, with one participant recently commenting, “This is by far the BEST CLASS I have taken at CDCU.” Courses have been adapted for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, CDC, and could easily be designed for other audiences as needed. See our Professional Education/Training capabilities.
For CDC Office of the Director, Office of the Associate Director for Communication, we recently completed a content analysis of television and newspaper stories on foodborne illness outbreaks and natural disasters, using specific statistical standards established by the National Center for Health Statistics. The Contractor Performance Report rated Creative Thinkers 5+ (exceptional performance level) in all areas. The report stated that, “The contractor is professional, easy to work with, and knowledgeable…The vendor delivered what they said they would in their proposal without any problems.”
In addition, we have recently completed a contract to describe, for the first time, the distribution of population health literacy by geographic and social factors and its association with well-being through analysis of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) dataset. |
For government contractors, our services include strategic planning, proposal development, writing, editing, and “Red Team” review.

We have an excellent track record, with one company receiving contract awards for almost 100% of the proposals in which we were involved.
For nonprofit community organizations, we have performed strategic planning services, including meeting facilitation and SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analyses.
