Website Development

HGE Conference Website  
The Institute for Latino Studies (ILS) at the University of Notre Dame and the Sociology Professor & Senior Egan Research Fellow John Koval have proposed a two-year project focused on the occupational fate and mobility of low-wage workers – especially minorities and recent immigrants – in the context of an industrial economy that is rapidly morphing into a post-industrial hourglass economy. This two-stage project would include a national conference, tentatively entitled “The Hourglass Economy: Its Characteristics, Causes and Consequence,” that would document and analyze the change process.

Egan will develop and maintain the The Hourglass Economy Conference website. The site will include information about the presenters, their contact information and papers; attendees; and various useful information abut the Hourglass Economy.  
     
Hepatitis Vaccine Online Tracking System and Database - Prototype  
The Chicago Recovery Alliance (CRA), the nation's largest and most successful syringe exchange organization, received a grant from GlaxoSmithKline to develop user-friendly educational materials on vaccine-preventable hepatitis (A and B). As part of this project, CRA approached Egan Urban Center at DePaul University to implement a secure, online database tracking system to maintain a list of vaccine recipients in the Chicago area. As part of the first phase, EUC developed a prototype and demonstrated it to CDPH, GlaxoSmithKline and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
