AstroGrid enables astronomers to explore and bookmark resources from around the world, find data, store and share files, query databases, plot and manipulate tables, cross-match catalogues, and build and run scripts to automate sequences of tasks. The project is funded until 2009.
The Biomedical Informatics Research Network is a geographically distributed virtual community aiming to advance the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. BIRN enables researchers across the U.S. to collaborate
on large-scale studies of disease with unique, multi-resolution
tools. Projects include the study of schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer's
disease, multiple sclerosis, schiziphrenia,
Parkinson's disease, ADHD, Tourette's disorder and brain cancer.
caBIG™ stands for the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid™, an information network enabling the cancer community – researchers, physicians and patients – to share data and knowledge. The components of caBIG™ are widely applicable beyond cancer as well. Read about CaBIG in iSGTW

The Network for Earthquake Engineering
Simulation is funded
by the U.S. National Science Foundation to build a national virtual "collaboratory"
for earthquake engineering research. Read about NEES grid in iSGTW
ViroLab is developing a grid-based virtual laboratory for the study of infectious diseases. The laboratory provides tools that help medical doctors understand drug resistance and tailor drug therapy to specific patients, providing virologists with an advanced environment in which to study virus trends. Involves partners across Europe
