Supporting High-Impact NIH Research

Client: RTI International


Projects: NIH Down Syndrome Cohort Development Program (DS-CDP) & Nutrition for Precision Health (NPH), powered by the All of Us Research Program

Kayvea LLC is embedded within RTI International teams to support the delivery of large, multi-site research programs focused on advancing clinical science and population health. Our role spans systems strategy, vendor coordination, and operational design—ensuring that complex research infrastructure is not only compliant, but usable and aligned with real-world workflows.

For the NIH’s DS-CDP and NPH initiatives, Kayvea led:

  • Coordination between RTI and external tech/data vendors

  • User-centered systems design and technical business analysis

  • Data governance strategies to support high-quality, AI-ready data

  • Integration support for clinical, behavioral, and biospecimen data streams

In addition to delivery support, Kayvea founder Kate Burdekin co-hosted a panel on clinical data management and led discussions on using AI in research operations—demonstrating a forward-looking approach to clinical data strategy.

Outcome:
By embedding directly in the project teams, Kayvea helped strengthen cross-functional alignment, improve vendor accountability, and design systems capable of delivering the high-quality data needed to answer complex questions—particularly around nutrition, precision health, and Down Syndrome.
