Open Science Grid

What We Do

The OSG provides common service and support for resource providers and scientific institutions using a distributed fabric of high throughput computational services. The OSG does not own resources but provides software and services to users and resource providers alike to enable the opportunistic usage and sharing of resources. The OSG is jointly funded by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. here for a two-page printable overview of OSG.

The Open Science Grid (OSG) supports science such as:

  • High Energy Physics
  • Structural Biology
  • Community VO (multiple sciences): OSG Connect
