iDASH Resources
Currently, there are three iDASH Driving Biological Projects (DBPs) to motivate, inform, and support innovations in research methods and approaches –– the core of the deployment of a national iDASH Biomedical Cyberinfrastructure. A key goal of iDASH is to develop and refine open-source software and tools to illustrate the spectrum of computational algorithms and methodologies available for biomedical and behavior researchers nationwide. To that end, a significant collection of software tools is now accessible. Furthermore, schemas, domain models, fundamental algorithms, and other useful resources are available below.
