Galaxy's NIH Common Fund work — the CFDE Cloud Workspace Implementation Center (CWIC), a five-year award (#OT2OD037936) to the Penn State and Johns Hopkins teams — has only ever appeared on the Hub as the 2024-11-27 news item, and is absent from /projects/.

This adds /projects/cfde-cloud-workspace/ covering what the workspace offers researchers, the hosted Galaxy instance, the award and partners (TACC, SDSC, CloudBank), and why Galaxy was chosen as the foundation. Title and no redirect, so the projects index picks it up as a card.

Card text: "A no-cost cloud workspace for analysis of NIH Common Fund data, built on Galaxy with compute at TACC"

Per your note, the page links the Galaxy instance at galaxy.cfdeworkspace.org as well as cfdeworkspace.org itself.

Review notes:

  • cfdeworkspace.org tells a different story about who runs this. It is TACC-operated — TACC/UT Austin hold the copyright, the contact is cfde@consult.tacc.utexas.edu, Galaxy is listed as one of four partners, and the site never mentions Penn State, Johns Hopkins or the award number. Its footer says "The Galaxy platform development is supported by NIH NHGRI awards," which is a different award family than this one. I wrote the Hub page from the award announcement rather than the site, which is why it leads with the Galaxy teams — worth a sanity check that this is how we want to frame it publicly.
  • SDSC. The news item names SDSC as a collaborator; the workspace site does not mention it, listing CloudBank instead (which SDSC leads). I kept both.
  • NIH's own CFDE page does not name CWIC or the Cloud Workspace among its centers — the only mention is a link to TACC's launch announcement. I did not claim CWIC is one of the named CFDE centers.
  • You wrote the source news item, so you'll know better than me whether anything here has moved on since.
  • All external links verified to return 200.

Galaxy's NIH Common Fund work -- the CFDE Cloud Workspace Implementation
Center, a five-year award to the Penn State and Johns Hopkins teams --
has only ever appeared on the Hub as a 2024 news item, and is absent
from /projects/.

Add a landing page covering what the workspace offers researchers, the
hosted Galaxy instance at galaxy.cfdeworkspace.org, the award and the
partners, and why Galaxy was the foundation. The page has a title and no
redirect, so the projects index picks it up as a card.

Working on the /projects/ page on the hub and thought common fund ought to go in. Is this ok? @mschatz @afgane
