Educational Resource Hub
This crowd-sourced database of educational resources is meant to encompass any tools relevant to people working at the intersection of health and extreme weather. This might include submissions by the content authors themselves, or simply recommendations from community members for resources they have found helpful. This collection includes only links directing users to existing resources - it is not meant to house or archive content.
Keep in mind, this is a crowd-sourced database. CAFE does not verify the quality nor endorse the use of any materials included in this database. Make sure to follow the terms of use and attribution requirements specific to each resource. If you have created or used sources that would be relevant to the community of practice, please add it to the database by entering it in the submission form below.
This webinar provides examples and guidance for writing a strong specific aims page as part of the NIH grant writing process.
Calculate road length sums by type for each county/municipality for a country of choice, as well as calculate number of road intersections.
This concise U.S. Census Bureau documentation aims to consolidate frequently used information, offering a quick kick-start for your Census journey.
This documentation specifically focuses on the following commonly used products:
The American Community Survey (U.S. Census Bureau)
ACS 1-Year Estimate
sACS 5-Year Estimates
The Decennial Census
Using the R ecmwfr package, ERA5 hourly temperature measures are downloaded from the Copernicus Climate Data Store. Using temperature and dewpoint temperature, heat index and humidex metrics are derived. Daily mean, maximum, and minimum measures are assessed across administrative boundaries. Kenya is used as a demonstration area.
Using the gridded meteorological dataset PRISM as an example, this tutorial demonstrates how to aggregate raster data to administrative units (e.g., counties) with population weights.

This bias-corrected BCD-ME data contains time series of daily mean and maximum near-surface air temperature on a uniform near-global 1-degree grid, from over 1000 combinations of GCM runs and historical 'ground truths', bias-corrected via Quantile Delta Mapping. The dataset samples model uncertainty across GCMs at a given GWL (with each repository in this listing containing data for all available simulations of one GCM), internal variability across GCM ensemble members and experiments for each GCM, and the spread in gridded historical 'ground truths' by bias-correcting and downscaling to four different global reanalysis products, and thus allows a diagnosis of the drivers of the spread in future projections of climate conditions and climate impacts.
Webinar Hosted by the NIH Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI)
Strengthening Your Data Management Sharing (DMS) Plans with GREI’s Practical Guide Webinar
- Learn how to strengthen NIH-compliant DMS Plans using GREI’s practical guide, including core policy elements and sample language for incorporating generalist repositories.
- Explore reusable sample text, practical tips, and resources to help you confidently integrate generalist repositories into your next DMS Plan.
- Hear user stories that demonstrate real-world applications of data sharing, discovery, and reuse, including from the CAFE RCC data management team speaking about creating CAFE’s collection on Harvard Dataverse.
Crowd-Sourced Environment and Health Educational Resources Collection Submission Form
Do you have a resource you’d like to share with the community in this educational resource collection? Please fill out the submission form below.
Your entry will be checked to ensure the content is appropriate, but will not be assessed for accuracy or completeness, and no other quality checks will be done.
If you have a dataset you’d like to share with the community, think about posting it to the CAFE collection on Dataverse!
Please fill out the form to add a resource you think might be helpful for the research community of practice.
The type of resources that should be shared here are one of the following:
- Book or reference text (e.g. textbook or guidebook on best practices or other essential knowledge)
- Code repository (e.g. a GitHub code bank of an existing analysis)
- Online code tutorial or vignette (e.g. a walkthrough of specific code or methods with examples and explanations)
- Online course (e.g. a series of learning objectives with content and assessment)
- Video or recorded webinar (e.g. educational resources presented in video format)
