The Gnosis Research Center and Dr. Manish Parashar's group at the University of Utah are working together to bring IOWarp to the National Data Platform (opens in a new tab) (NDP). The collaboration is not separately funded; it grows out of shared interest in agentic data management for open science.
On August 5, 2024, the National Science Foundation awarded the collaborative Frameworks grant "IOWarp: Bending the I/O Fabric for Advancing AI-Infused Scientific Workflows". GRC leads the project under award OAC-2411318 (opens in a new tab), with Dr. Xian-He Sun as PI and Dr. Anthony Kougkas and Dr. Gerd Heber (The HDF Group) as co-PIs. The University of Utah is the partner institution under award OAC-2411319 (opens in a new tab), led by Dr. Jacob Hochhalter with Dr. Vivek Srikumar. Both awards run from August 2024 through July 2029.
