Our Clients and Partners
Data Maven works with people and organizations who share similar missions and values.
For decades we’ve served as the data partner for a nonprofit, private foundation to produce a series of high-impact reports that track and rank the health of populations across all 50 states and the nation.
Additionally, we’ve recently collaborated on projects with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and Rocky Mountain Poison & Drug Safety (RMPDS). We partner with expert designers (Aldrich Design) and developers (RoninWare) to get the work done.
