About the Open Science Grid
The Open Science Grid provides a fabric of services to enable distributed, high-throughput computing capabilities across the US. In general, OSG is organized into VOs (Virtual Organizations) around large experiments, but individual PIs and groups too small for the VO model can use the hosted services provided by OSG Connect.
