Migration of legacy dashboards to CompTox Chemicals Dashboard

Impact/Purpose:
Chemical safety decisions and management can be hindered by the lack of ready-access to the ever-expanding array of data, tools, and models that are relevant to the analyses. Even though many chemical safety resources are available, it may not be clear how the various sources of information might be combined in targeted, efficient workflows to address their specific questions. Furthermore, the use of information from traditionally separate data sources is time-consuming and complex. OCSPP, OLEM, OW, Regions, States, and Tribes have indicated research needs in chemical curation and informatics. To meet these needs, products in this output include databases, web services, manuscripts, and training to support development of a unified infrastructure. These products are interconnected and several will be dependent upon completion of other products in the output. Seema Schappelle, OSCP, 202-564-8006 (EDSP and ToxCast Dashboard migration). OSCP, OLEM, OW, Regions, States and Tribes uses the new CompTox Chemicals Dashboard for internal rapid information gathering and visualization of ToxCast and Tox21 data. We also use the batch search mode of the Dashboard as a high-quality input into OSCP's chemical curation efforts. This work will migrate and enhance the functionality delivered by legacy dashboards (e.g. EDSP21, ToxCast, CPCat and ACToR dashboards) into the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard and will result in the legacy dashboards being discontinued. All databases underpinning the Dashboard will update with the latest data. EDSP21 and ToxCast data was migrated into InVitroDB while the CPCat/CPDat data was replaced with Factotum data in the dashboard. Specific subsets of toxicity data contained within the ACToR database have been migrated into the ToxVal database that underpins the Hazard tab in the dashboard. The majority of individual data collections associated with ACToR are not yet available in the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard but remain available in the legacy ACToR dashboard. The data and functionality originally available within some of the legacy dashboards have migrated to the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard. Initial migration which was initiated in 2018 was completed with the 2020 rollout to the point where the EDSP21, ToxCast and CPCat data and functionality are now integrated into the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard with two of the legacy dashboards decommissioned in July 2019 (EDSP21 and ToxCast: see announcement at https://actor.epa.gov/dashboard/). All databases underpinning the Dashboard have been updated with the latest data. The InVitroDB underpinning the EDSP21 and ToxCast dashboards was updated with the July 2020 release. The CPCat/CPDat data were replaced with ChemExpoDB data in the dashboard. A subset of toxicity data contained within the ACToR database have been migrated into the ToxVal database that underpins the Hazard tab in the dashboard while the majority of individual data collections associated with ACToR are still available through the ACToR legacy dashboard until that migration is completed in a future release. Program and Regional Offices partners will have ready-access to data, tools, and models that they need to perform their chemical risk assessment and risk management duties. This release of the Dashboard included more chemicals and the incorporation of more databases to help bring chemical evaluation information more into a single platform.
