About us

HAWC is a collaboration of several individuals and organizations who create, maintain, and enhance the functionalities of this tool. The lead developer of the project is Andy Shapiro, who created the prototype in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Public Health in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under direction of Dr. Ivan Rusyn. Overall guidance on HAWC development is provided by a steering committee with representation from the National Toxicology Program at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS/NTP), Texas A&M University, and the National Center for Computational Toxicology of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA/NCCT).

Data in HAWC

The HAWC database is changing daily as users add more data to assessments. Below is a list of the current counts for different types of data captured in the database. Note that in most cases, these data are available in assessments which may not be publicly accessible (yet):
