In September of 2009, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) selected Data Federal to help reconcile and close a substantial backlog of grants and cooperative agreements. After analyzing and streamlining the current process, Data Federal closed more than 99% of the FY 2004 grants assigned and more than 70% of the FY 2005 grants assigned prior to the expiration of those funds at the end of the government’s fiscal year. Data Federal’s performance in FY 2009 resulted in a 71% improvement over the number of closeouts performed by HRSA in 2008. This has allowed HRSA to reassign the remaining closeout responsibilities to Data Federal staff. Data Federal’s BPM-based Grant Closeout System streamlines the grant closeout process, using powerful proprietary technology to align team-members along a proven workflow and ensure effective performance. HRSA’s dramatic success demonstrates the power of these principles and substantiates the effectiveness of Data Federal’s BPM-based Grant Closeout System.

The purpose of the redesign is to better reflect the Commission’s role and responsibilities to ensure the safety and protection of the American public. Data Federal will increase the efficiency of the NRC’s Web services while enhancing the security, currency, and accuracy of its Web content. The redesign will also implement Web 2.0 features to facilitate communication with site visitors, making NRC.gov the primary destination for those seeking information on nuclear safety and radiation.

The Agency, under the Department of Health and Human Services, seeks to use its National Resource Center for Health Information Technology (NRC) to promote the use of Health IT for transforming healthcare and increasing stakeholder access to research and other health-related information. The requirements under this contract include the redesign of the NRC’s website (healthit.ahrq.gov) to accelerate the adoption and meaningful use of Health IT and to disseminate AHRQ Health IT portfolio activities, provide a searchable Knowledge Library, and develop secure private online communities for collaboration among interested parties. The contract also includes support for the portal’s infrastructure, as well as its database functions and operations.

The Data Federal team has been selected by the DOT to implement the rapid design and rollout of the agency’s new travel portal. Data Federal will also develop a technology strategy and roadmap for the portal that helps the DOT meet the Administration’s program of transparency, participation and collaboration. This work includes all aspects of the portal, including content management, hosting, cost savings, and strategy. The primary output will be a detailed strategy of implementation, a timeline for the implementation of the strategic items, and targeted cost savings to help fund these initiatives.

The solution to be developed will provide unprecedented visibility into the customer’s support, production, and execution, as well as the metrics surrounding those activities. The system will allow the customer to be more responsive to dynamic intelligence shifts, while increasing the overall effectiveness of operations. The deployed capabilities will allow for adjustments within the planning cycle, eliminating redundancies, and freeing up critical capacitated resources. Further, the technology will demonstrate the effective use and applicability of Business Process Management Systems (BPMS).

Data Federal announced the formal opening of its Freedom of Information Act practice. The Freedom of Information Act or FOIA, as it is commonly known, allows for the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents controlled by the United States Government. While the Act went into effect over 40 years ago, substantial changes and updates have been enacted over the course of the last four decades. In 2005, Executive Order 13392 mandated additional changes to the manner in which the government responds to FOIA requests. Due to these modifications and the ever-increasing number of FOIA requests, the processing, evaluation, and administration of FOIA requests has become increasingly visible. Additionally, information requested via the Act must be reconciled with other applicable laws and regulations such as the Privacy Act to ensure the appropriate release of information. The need for accuracy, accountability and timeliness along with the recent changes in the Act have resulted in the greatest need for qualified professionals providing FOIA support since the inception of the Act. Data Federal currently performs FOIA and Privacy Act support services for several federal agencies. Viewing the increased need for FOIA support services, Data Federal developed a focused FOIA practice to complement our federal paralegal practice. Ensuring that the skills of our FOIA professionals are grounded in the legal profession offers our customers piece of mind that all rules, regulations and policies will be followed.
