Grid3 ? Open Science Grid

• Build on Grid3 experience
• Persistent, production-quality Grid, national
  international scope
• Ensure U.S. leading role in international science
• Grid infrastructure for large-scale collaborative
  scientific research
• Create large computing infrastructure
• Combine resources at DOE labs and universities to
  effectively become a single national computing
  infrastructure for science
• Provide opportunities for educators and students
• Participate in building and exploiting this grid
  infrastructure
• Develop and train scientific and technical
  workforce
• Transform the integration of education and
  research at all levels
