| Our Mission: |
Our mission is to impact global public health
and education through the development and implementation
of innovative health communication, research,
and technology programs.
Danya's energetic and diverse public health researchers,
educators, and clinicians work together with our
world-class professionals in social marketing,
multimedia, technology development, and conference
planning to accomplish our goals.
Founded on the guiding principles of integrity,
quality, and creativity, our overarching aim is
to help create a better world for everyone.
Integrity—At
the core of Danya's relationship with each client
or partner is our commitment to integrity, which
we define as accountability and trustworthiness
in completing our work at a standard above that
which is expected of us.
Quality—Danya
has a commitment to continuous quality improvement.
Dunn and Bradstreet recently highlighted Danya's
success by issuing us the highest ratings in every
evaluation category, including timeliness of delivery
or performance, quality of purchased product or
service, total cost, technical support, and attitude
of supplier personnel.
Creativity—Danya
is committed to and supports creativity and innovation.
Inspired ideas are given the freedom to become
practical solutions. This is reflected in the
many awards Danya has received under the Small
Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. Danya's
SBIR accomplishments were recognized by the U.S.
Small Business Administration, which selected
the firm as recipient of a 2000 National Tibbetts
Award. |
