A healthier future with ICF
Advancing health services
FDA's mission of protecting public health touches every American. But challenges such as rapidly changing environments, aging systems, budget and costs, data sharing, talent gaps, and siloed cultures stand in the way of mission-driven innovation. What is the best way to usher in a bold paradigm shift to deliver on your critical public health mission?
As medicines, therapeutics, devices, and products evolve at a rapid pace, we partner with FDA to create purpose-built solutions that advance health outcomes.

FDA and ICF
A successful partnership in the dynamic world of public health takes experience and an appreciation for the workforce that brings the mission to life. We've helped FDA deliver efficient and high-quality services to America for over 15 years across multi-year contracts that drive outcomes across key federal programs.
Our FDA work has been sponsored by many centers within FDA, including the Office of Digital Transformation, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the Center for Tobacco Products, the Center for Veterinary Medicine, the Office of External Affairs, and the Office of Operations. In addition to FDA, we also work with HHS agencies ACF, CDC, CMS, NIH, and SAMHSA.
Our interdisciplinary teams maximize efficiency and outcomes in public health by leveraging 40+ years of expertise in biomedical and clinical data, health systems modernization, data standards and coordination, health information communications, regulatory and policy, public health science and research, and workforce optimization.

Environmental and contextual factors, or social determinants of health (SDOH), are the strongest predictor of health and well-being in children, families, and their communities—accounting for much of the variation in health outcomes and disparities we see across the country.
We brought together leading public health experts from the federal, state, and local levels to discuss the current federal landscape around SDOH—including the latest research and Administration priorities—and how to mitigate the negative effects of SDOH.
