Capabilities

Whether you need a quick or an in-depth epidemiologic or worker wellness study, ORAU combines and integrates a broad base of skills and capabilities to collect, manage, interpret, analyze, and publish occupational exposure and worker studies data. 

Epidemiologic Research - ORAU provides both long-term and short-term studies of health problems at U.S. Department of Energy and other industry facilities.

Data Collection and Surveillance - Because epidemiologic research depends heavily upon large numbers of research participants and even greater quantities of data, identifying required data and developing plans for collecting and organizing that data are essential to achieving accurate results and conclusions.

Biostatistics - Not only is statistical analysis a significant process in support of epidemiologic research, it is also a significant stand-alone service providing independent analyses and reporting of client data.

Hazard Assessment - ORAU analyzes accumulated data to identify potential workplace hazards to which individuals or groups of workers may be exposed.

Information Technology Integration - Information technology is an integral part of the epidemiologic research process, organizing research data into manageable databases that allow a variety of analytical approaches to the data. Additionally, ORAU is integrating Web-based and paperless information management into its processes and programs.
