About the caGrid Knowledge Center
The caGrid Knowledge Center is an NCI-supported entity led by The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and OSU Biomedical Informatics Department, with the University of Chicago and the Argonne National Lab. The Knowledge Center provides a centralized information resource for the caGrid community (that includes you!). Key services provided by the Knowledge Center include:
- Providing expertise on caGrid
- Maintaining technical and end-user documentation
- Fostering open source development of caBIG™ tools
- Collecting and monitoring defect reports, feature requests, and end-user requirements
caGrid Knowledge Center Mission
Foster the caGrid community by sharing knowledge on the benefits and technical details of the caGrid and collaborating with high-impact scientific projects. The Knowledge Center has three primary aims:
- Provide comprehensive documentation, tutorials, FAQs, and a knowledge base to meet self-service information needs.
- Provide caGrid expertise and knowledge via collaboration with high-value and high-impact scientific projects to demonstrate the value proposition for using caGrid.
- Foster a dynamic, active caGrid community by promoting knowledge sharing among community members. Promote awareness and reuse of community projects and technologies that use and extend caGrid.

What is caGrid?
caGrid is software that enables Grid Computing. The goal of grid computing is to enable secure sharing of and remote access to resources in a multi-institutional setting.
caGrid plays a central role in caBIG™. caGrid provides connectivity among institutions, allowing research groups to tap into the rich collection of emerging research data while supporting their individual investigations. When using caGrid, institutions manage and securely share information and analytic resources.
