This is our projects and collaboration site, where team collaborators can get access to our project efforts, code repos, data sharing, research notebooks, and other research driven services that we don’t want to expose to the public. There are sections below that are specific to a project – as well as more generalized team management. If you have questions or need to update some portion, email Erich or the assigned student coordinator.
For team management access, please go thru the onboarding process by making a request on our form.
Active Projects (October 2024)
Idaho’s new $24 million NSF EPSCoR RII project, I-CREWS, aims to address the impact of climate, population, and technological change on energy-water (E-W) systems. The official site for ICREWS is: https://idahocrews.org
The RII Track-2: Where We Live (W2L) Local and Place Based Adaptation to Climate Change in Underserved Rural Communities project builds national research competitiveness and capacity to addressing the critical national need of proactively addressing climate change in underserved rural communities.
Haclab’s Maternal Health project is a PENDING one year project that will explore maternal and infant health outcomes in the state of Idaho.
Haclab’s Modeling Idaho Health project (https://modelingidahohealth.org) utilizes the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) data findings to generate Idaho adult health and health behavior measures at a county level.
Team Management
We currently have a private Github organizational account, where we collaborate on repositories which house our main modeling code. You must be an authenticated member of the team to access these private repositories, and have an acceptable level of competency in github version control, cloning, pull requests, etc. You can access this private github group here: http://github.com/hac-lab
Notion is a collaboration tool which we use to share informal information, tasks, project plans, and research notebooks. Access our secure notion site by downloading the app or going to https://www.notion.so/haclab. You will need to be added to the lab space. You can request it by emailing Erich or going to this form.
We use Slack for instant messaging and informal team communications. You can access via the web using https://haclabworkspace.slack.com – with appropriate authentication. Request access via the team onboarding process using this form.
We use the University of Idaho’s high performance cluster (HPC) for computational modeling. This entails having Linux shell access to our cluster and standalone servers – as well as access to Rstudio and Python/Jupyter Notebook services. All these services require login access, that can be requested using our onboarding process. Request access via this form.
Our HAC Lab dashboards are currently Shiny based applications. These are development dashboards, which allow our team to dynamically run models, and review outputs. These dashboards are not shared outside of the research team. Once refined and confirmed to be ready for exposure, model results can be pushed to our external dashboards and API.
We use google calendar for team meetings and other important events. The calendar is typically updated once a week.
We use the University of Idaho’s Zoom Conferencing for calls and discussions. Use this url for haclab general meetings: https://uidaho.zoom.us/j/88626965742. You will need a password for access, which will be provided via the onboarding process – initiated by using this form.
