Acknowledgments
This research was made possible by the Prevention and Methodology Training Program (PAMT) funded by a T32 training grant (T32 DA017629 Multiple Principal Investigators: Jennifer Maggs & Stephanie Lanza) from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institutes of Health Intensive Longitudinal Health Behavior Cooperative Agreement Program (U24AA027684), National Science Foundation (Grant DUE-2417294), the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (UL1TR002014-06), and the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive & Kidney Diseases (U01DK135126).
Computations for this research were performed on the Pennsylvania State University’s Institute for Computational and Data Sciences’ Roar supercomputer using SLURM for job scheduling (Yoo et al., 2003), GNU Parallel to run the simulations in parallel (Tange, 2021), and Apptainer to ensure a reproducible software stack (Kurtzer et al., 2017, 2021). See .sim/README.md and the scripts in the .sim folder in the GitHub repository for more details on how the simulations were performed.
