+# How to Run dbt in Airflow
+
+This guide discusses how dbt models may be run in airflow and the file
+configuration that is needed to run those models.
+
+## How Airflow Runs dbt Models
+
+The airflow instance that is used to orchestrate data pipelines is hosted in
+AWS using Managed Workflow for Apache Airflow (MWAA). MWAA provides a simple way
+for the airflow instance - as well as its workers to be provisioned and
+dispatched. As of the writing of this guide, the MWAA instance used by these
+workflows is utilizing Airflow version 3.0.6 and python version 3.12.
+
+To run dbt models, we utilize [`cosmos`](https://astronomer.github.io/astronomer-cosmos/index.html).
+`cosmos` is a python library written for Airflow that has operators that use dbt
+and convert sets of dbt models within a dbt project into DAGs. While an older
+approach may have specified running dbt models within a bash command within an
+airflow bash operator, using the `cosmos` `DbtDag` operator allows individual
+models and those models' tests to be materialized as individual tasks.
+
+For a dbt model - or set of models - to be picked up by airflow and run, those
+models need to be referenced by a DAG.
+
+### Getting files into MWAA
+
+When pull requests are merged into main branch in this repository, a GitHub
+action is triggered to mirror the contents of this repository into the s3 bucket
+that MWAA uses to store models and DAGs.
+
+## How to write a DAG file
+
+A DAG that runs dbt models has three important parts that are needed for those
+models to run:
+
+1. imports
+2. profile configuration
+3. the model DAG
+
+### Example DAG
+
+An example DAG is below. Its components will be described in the following
+sections. The purpose of this DAG is to run models in the study
+`kf_example_study` every day.
+
+```python
+import os
+from datetime import datetime
+
+from cosmos import (
+    DbtDag,
+    ProjectConfig,
+    ProfileConfig,
+    ExecutionConfig,
+    RenderConfig,
+)
+
+profile_config = ProfileConfig(
+    profile_name=os.environ["DBT_PROFILE_NAME"],
+    profiles_yml_filepath=os.environ["DBT_PROFILES_YML_PATH"],
+    target_name="prd",
+)
+
+example_study_dag = DbtDag(
+    project_config=ProjectConfig(
+        "/opt/airflow/dbt/deidentified_etl",
+        install_dbt_deps=True,
+    ),
+    profile_config=profile_config,
+    execution_config=ExecutionConfig(
+        dbt_executable_path=os.environ["DBT_EXECUTABLE_PATH"],
+    ),
+    render_config=RenderConfig(select=["config.meta.study:kf_example_study"]),
+    # normal dag parameters
+    schedule="@daily",
+    start_date=datetime(2026, 1, 1),
+    catchup=False,
+    dag_id="kf_example_study",
+    tags=["POC", "Kids First"],
+    default_args={"retries": 2},
+)
+```
+
+### Imports
+
+This section has all of the packages and modules that are needed for the DAG
+file to run. An important set of items that need to be imported are the cosmos
+imports that have both the `DbtDag` operator and the appropriate cosmos
+`Config`s. Information about different configuration modules used by cosmos
+is [here](https://astronomer.github.io/astronomer-cosmos/configuration/index.html).
+
+Minimally for cosmos, the below is needed:
+
+```python
+from cosmos import (
+    DbtDag,
+    ProjectConfig,
+    ProfileConfig,
+    ExecutionConfig,
+    RenderConfig,
+)
+```
+
+In the example, the `import os` is used to extract environment variables on the
+machine used to run dbt and `import datetime` is used to identify when the
+DAG should start being run.
+
+### `profile_config`
+
+The `profile_config` is used by cosmos to identify the profile to be used by dbt
+commands. The values for `profile_name` and `profiles_yml_filepath` should use
+the indicated environment variables. Acceptable values for `target_name` are
+`qa` and `prd`
+
+### the model DAG
+
+The model DAG(s) python object can be named whatever makes the most sense for
+the DAG
+
+[`project_config`](https://astronomer.github.io/astronomer-cosmos/configuration/project-config.html),
+[`profile_config`](https://astronomer.github.io/astronomer-cosmos/profiles/index.html),
+and [`execution_config`](https://astronomer.github.io/astronomer-cosmos/configuration/execution-config.html)
+will look identical between DAGs and should follow the model of this example.
+More information about these configurations is linked.
+
+[`render_config`](https://astronomer.github.io/astronomer-cosmos/configuration/render-config.html)
+is used to identify what dbt model(s) should be run and follow dbt's `--select`
+behavior. More information about using `RenderConfig` to select models can be
+found [here](https://astronomer.github.io/astronomer-cosmos/configuration/selecting-excluding.html).
+
+The rest of the DAG's parameters are familiar to other airflow operators.
+
+* `schedule` indicates how often a DAG should be run
+* `dag_id` is the identifier for the DAG within airflow and should follow the
+  form `{program}_{study}`.
+* `tags` is used to tag the DAG and should minimally have a tag for the program
+  the DAG corresponds to.
+
+## Required components of models
+
+To be picked up by airflow, all that is required for models is that they have
+the corresponding filtering criteria used in the `select` of the `RenderConfig`.
+
+In this example, the `meta` `config` property `study` was created and used to
+filter models.
