Join Abt Global at the 2025 Association for Public Policy Fall Research Conference (APPAM).

Since our founding, Abt Global has tackled the world’s toughest challenges through advanced data analytics and emerging technologies. Data science remains at the heart of what we do today, powering solutions across health, environment, education, housing, and economic development. We utilize cutting-edge versions of tools—such as natural language processing (NLP), generative AI, chatbots, drones, and more—to meet our clients’ diverse needs.   

Abt’s proficiency in data science, statistics, methodology, and project management helps government and community stakeholders uncover valuable insights. We devise new survey designs like address-based sampling and precision geographic targeting. We meet data collection challenges with innovations like Virtual Omnichannel Integrated Citizen Engagement (VOICE), which integrates inbound and outbound support for in-person, telephone, web, texting, and interactive voice response approaches, augmented with chatbots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) response scraping. From design through execution, we evaluate data sources to eliminate inaccuracies and enhance the quality and integrity of results.

Abt’s data value chain, including responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI), shapes practical, actionable insights for our clients’ decision-making. These data and tools have empowered public health surveillance, predicted PFAS blood levels and delays in nursing care, and analyzed thousands of surveys through natural language processing (NLP). Our data analytics and AI experts work within rigorous methods to ensure accuracy and optimize processes, clearing a path for positive impact in everything from healthcare to agriculture.

Abt uses agile and human-centered design practices coupled with data analytics to provide the best digital solutions to transform systems, policies, and lives. We design and deliver interactive digital solutions using robust change management practices, a large partner ecosystem, and embedded security policies. We integrate fairness into every phase of our application development process, from initial team building and requirements gathering to testing and deployment.

Abt Global generates evidence to help clients address tough challenges—in education, housing, child welfare, employment, and health. Our researchers implement effective and efficient processes to collect and analyze vast amounts of data, producing frequently cited studies. Does a program reduce food insecurity and improve nutrition? Does a vaccine wane in effectiveness against a new virus variant? Our global interdisciplinary teams—research methodologists, statisticians, ethnographers, economists, epidemiologists, data scientists, and implementation research scientists— help policymakers answer such questions. They assess whether programs work to improve people’s lives, and if not, how to best resolve them.
