About Mathematica
Mathematica is a leading research organization that specializes in applying data, methods, policy, and practice to improve the well-being of people around the world. With over 50 years of experience in conducting rigorous research and evaluation studies, Mathematica has established itself as a trusted partner for governments, foundations, and other organizations seeking evidence-based solutions to complex social problems.
At Mathematica, we believe that data-driven insights are essential for improving programs and policies that affect people's lives. Our team of experts includes statisticians, economists, policy analysts, program evaluators, and other professionals who work together to generate insights that inform decision-making at all levels.
One of our core strengths is our ability to translate big questions into deep insights. We use a variety of research methods to answer complex questions about social programs and policies. For example:
- We conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
- We use quasi-experimental designs to estimate program impacts when RCTs are not feasible.
- We analyze administrative data from government agencies or other sources to understand program implementation or outcomes.
- We conduct surveys or focus groups with stakeholders or beneficiaries to gather qualitative information about their experiences.
Our expertise spans a wide range of policy areas including health care delivery systems; education; workforce development; family support; nutrition assistance; disability services; criminal justice reform; international development; and more.
We have worked with clients across the public sector including federal agencies such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), state governments such as California's Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), local governments such as New York City's Department of Education (DOE), foundations such as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), non-profit organizations such as Feeding America®, and private sector companies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Our commitment to quality is reflected in our rigorous quality assurance processes which ensure that all our work meets high standards for accuracy and reliability. Our staff also adhere strictly to ethical guidelines for research involving human subjects.
In addition to conducting research studies on behalf of clients, we also produce publications on topics related to social policy. These include reports on trends in health care spending or enrollment in public benefit programs like Medicaid or SNAP (formerly known as food stamps); issue briefs on emerging topics like telehealth or value-based payment models in health care delivery systems; blog posts featuring commentary from our experts on current events related to social policy issues.
