Anywhere, U.S.A. · Government/MilitaryRemote Data Scientist/Data Visualization Specialist (FOPR 23-47 USAFSAMPHR Data Scientist Data Visualization Specialist Support)
Introduction:
The 711th Human Performance Wing (711 HPW), headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, is the first human-centric warfare wing to consolidate human performance research, education and consultation under a single organization. Established under the Air Force Research Laboratory, the 711 HPW is comprised of the Airman Systems Directorate (RH), and the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM)). The Wing delivers unparalleled capability to the Air Force through a combination of world class infrastructure and expertise of its diverse workforce of military, civilian and contractor personnel encompassing 75 occupational specialties including science and engineering, occupational health and safety, medical professions, technicians, educators, and business operations and support. This effort will be part of a continuing partnership between the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM), the Air Force Medical Readiness Agency (AFMRA), and the Defense Health Agency (DHA). It focuses on developmental work to transform numerous sources of Public Health data into concise and flexible visualizations to assist senior DoD leaders and Public Health (PH) Subject Matter Experts in identifying, prioritizing, and resolving gaps in data quality and program performance and reducing risk to human health.
Description of Services:
The contractor shall meet the requirements per the basic contract and provide professionally and technically qualified individual to perform all tasks in the following paragraphs to fulfill the
requirements of this task order. The scope of this effort is to design and build multiple data processing workflows and visualizations, fed by numerous data sources and types, to enable optimal analysis and communication of Public Health program quality and performance. Products will be distributed and used by Aerospace and Operational Medicine Enterprise (AOME) teams at DoD installations worldwide, by higher headquarters personnel, and by supported line mission partners to understand and reduce risks to human health, regulatory compliance, and mission execution.
Workflows and visualizations will depend heavily upon use of data-focused programming languages and tools such as Python/Pandas and R, BusinessObjects, SQL, and Microsoft Excel; and visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI and Qlik. End-product visualizations will facilitate user interaction with complex data sets hosted on a SharePoint site and custom-built web-based applications to allow aggregation of data, exploration of relationships between data sets, and identification of courses of action to improve data quality, program performance, and risk management.
