WHAT WE DO
Create More Victories on and off the Field
The Datalys Difference
DATALYS Center is an independent nonprofit focused on improving the health, safety, and performance of athletes and active people through scientific guidance and support. We’ve conducted hundreds of studies over nearly two decades, enabling stakeholders to make safety improvements to minimize risk and maximize potential. Whether it’s the workplace or the soccer field, a comprehensive understanding of common injuries and illnesses can help you implement strategies to reduce unwanted costs and liabilities while keeping you in play.
Our Mission
To improve the health, safety, and performance of athletes and active people through scientific guidance and support.
Our Vision
To be the trusted leader in making sports and physical activity safer through data-driven analytics and scientific research.
Our Philosophy
Because we are an independent non-profit organization, Datalys can conduct short-term and long-term studies at lower costs than for-profit contract research organizations and independent researchers. While we often solicit grants from competitive sources, we can also work with program sponsors to find innovative and creative ways to fund programs important to them because of our flexibility.
