+title: "Galaxy, TACC and SDSC NIH Award to Develop Cloud Workspace Implementation Center"
+date: "2024-11-26"
+authors: "Scott Cain"
+tease: "New workspace to make data management sustainable for life sciences data analysis"
+---
+
+The Galaxy teams at Penn State and Johns Hopkins Universities received an
+award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the
+[Common Fund Data Ecosystem](https://commonfund.nih.gov/dataecosystem) (CFDE) to
+develop the CFDE Cloud Workspace Implementation Center (CWIC). The project was
+awarded for five years under NIH Award #OT2OD037936.
+
+We will collaborate with the [Texas Advanced Computing Center](https://tacc.utexas.edu/) (TACC)
+and the [San Diego Supercomputing Center](https://www.sdsc.edu/) (SDSC) to
+build a comprehensive cloud workspace to support the NIH research community.
+By building on the Galaxy platform, the CloudBank project, and the powerful
+computing and data storage of TACC, the CFDE Cloud Workspace will offer
+researchers an intuitive starting point to manage and integrate datasets;
+draw from a large, established catalog of bioinformatics tools; build, share,
+and search for workflows that align with their datasets; and support
+collaboration with trusted colleagues.
+
+This CFDE Cloud Workspace will have many advantages:
+
+-   The open source, widely adopted Galaxy platform interface and capabilities are
+    already familiar to most life sciences research communities.
+
+-   The platform can leverage all major cloud providers and academic compute
+    resources, giving unparalleled cost control and flexibility over time.
+
+-   Community adoption and contribution to Galaxy tools and workflows mean the
+    analytical capability will be expansive on day one with proven extensibility
+    as new tools arise.
+
+-   The open source nature of the platform and compatibility across cloud
+    resources ensures sustainability beyond the duration of the project.
+
+-   The platform will provide long-term infrastructure stability and empower
+    research innovation.
+
+-   The initial tier is at no cost to the researcher.
