+## Analysis of NIH Common Fund data, on Galaxy
+
+The CFDE Cloud Workspace gives researchers a place to work with
+[NIH Common Fund](https://commonfund.nih.gov/dataecosystem) datasets: manage and
+integrate data, draw on an established catalogue of bioinformatics tools, build
+and share workflows, and collaborate with colleagues — with an initial tier that
+costs the researcher nothing.
+
+The analysis interface is Galaxy, so most life sciences researchers arrive
+already knowing how to use it, and the tools and workflows the Galaxy community
+has built are available from day one.

+
+## The project
+
+The Galaxy teams at Penn State and Johns Hopkins Universities received a
+five-year NIH award (#OT2OD037936) through the
+[Common Fund Data Ecosystem](https://commonfund.nih.gov/dataecosystem) (CFDE) to
+develop the **CFDE Cloud Workspace Implementation Center** (CWIC). The work is a
+collaboration with the
+[Texas Advanced Computing Center](https://tacc.utexas.edu/) (TACC) and the
+[San Diego Supercomputer Center](https://www.sdsc.edu/) (SDSC), building on
+Galaxy, the [CloudBank](https://www.cloudbank.org/) project, and TACC's compute
+and storage.
+
+Beyond the hosted Galaxy instance, the workspace offers access to TACC
+high-performance computing and, through CloudBank, to commercial cloud
+resources.
+
+The choice of Galaxy as the foundation was deliberate: it runs across all major
+cloud providers and academic compute resources, which gives the project cost
+control and flexibility over time, and its open source licence means the
+workspace can outlive the award.
