Higher Education and Academic Medical Centers
Universities, hospitals, and nonprofits are developing tomorrow’s leaders and conducting critical research. You are shaping America’s future.
Competition to be the best – to make brilliant discoveries – requires you to fight for grants and generate as much research as possible.
But, the recent global economic meltdown has limited available funding – forcing you to reduce program and capital spending. At the same time, the Federal government has infused billions of dollars into the market to support sponsored activities. As a result, general administrative compliance and reporting costs are up. Concurrently, student enrollment and financial aid complexity are climbing.
It's a complicated roadmap, but Attain helps you forge forward. We facilitate the value chain of innovation across your ecosystem – academic medical centers, universities, and research facilities, as well as the Federal agencies that provide critical funding. We understand your challenges and will work closely with you to help improve collaboration, communication, and productivity.
Working at the intersection of innovation and experience, we pride ourselves on helping you realize your quest for innovation. We provide high-impact consulting and strategy, focusing on:
