Great Plain Network Consortium Extending the Reach Project
The goal of GPN is for institutions to link to emerging national and global trust fabrics using a framework that protects resources with appropriate authentication and authorization mechanisms while at the same time ensuring the privacy of users.
The GPN is a member of the Open Science Grid, an infrastructure that allows massive scientific research across multiple institutions. Authorized grid users at the University of Arkansas have the ability to run their applications on any resource in GPN and the Open Science Grid.

Southern University Research Association Testbed Grid
The goal of the SURA Grid project is to evaluate components of the NSF Middleware Initiative (NMI) and to deploy grid technology at participating sites. The results of the project will be to increase familiarity with grid tools, bring this technology to campus researchers, and to raise the awareness and use of grids within the SURA region and at the University of Arkansas. Areas of grid research and development that we are exploring include identity management and mechanism for authorization.
