OneSciencePlace is a modern, composable, and low-code/no-code platform that supports a wide range of scientific, educational, and data-sharing scenarios: from single-PI labs to national-scale collaborations. OSP's modular architecture lets you pick the components you need without extensive software development.

Individual & Lab Scale
Research Team & Lab Portal
The lightweight, digital home for faculty labs and small research groups, deployed with minimal administrative overhead.
- Host lab members, apps, publications, and private datasets in a single branded environment.
- Simplifies administration with a streamlined interface for a small user base.
- Help structure your apps, computing, data, and results.
- Publish research outputs, protocols, and applications as shareable, citable objects.
- Ideal for: Faculty PIs, Postdoc/Graduate students
Departmental & Campus Scale
Education & Training Portal
Deliver interactive, instructional computing experiences that scale seamlessly for classes and workshops.
- Curriculum-integrated apps (e.g., Jupyter, RStudio) and persistent workspaces for assignments.
- Simplified student onboarding using federated identity.
- Support for virtually any Linux application, not just web environments.
- Integrate campus HPC and cloud resources under a single class account.
- Ideal for: Instructors, Workshops, and Teaching & Learning centers.
Campus/Research Center Portal
Aggregate institutional compute, storage, and services into one unified, branded access point.
- Unified interface with institutional branding and federated authentication (SSO).
- Centralized, curated App Store featuring validated computational tools.
- Integrate and manage access controls across multiple computational and storage resources.
- Enable cross-lab or cross-college resource sharing and integration.
- Ideal for: Research IT, Campus CI Teams, Institutes, and Centers.
HPC Portal
Make supercomputing accessible through a visual, user-friendly interface with minimal system engineering.
- Deliver the full power of HPC clusters via an intuitive web interface.
- Configure the portal in user space, no root privileges required.
- Use no-code tools to craft custom UIs for complex batch jobs.
- Manage interactive and non-interactive (batch) job submission across one or more integrated clusters and clouds.
- Extend the portal with custom usage reports for campus resource allocation oversight.
- Ideal for: HPC Centers, Campus Clusters, and IT groups focused on maximizing cluster accessibility.
FAIR Repository & Publishing Platform
Establish an institutional platform to share, preserve, and cite research outputs in compliance with FAIR principles.
- Customizable repository for publishing data, articles, software, and workflows.
- Supports flexible metadata schemas and configurable curation workflows.
- Assign a range of persistent identifiers such as DOI along with standard and custom license management.
- Integrates analysis apps and custom viewers directly alongside the published content.
- Ideal for: Funded Research Projects, Data Journals, and Institutional Repositories seeking compliance.
Community & National Scale
Science Gateway
- Centralized access to domain-relevant applications, data, and reproducible workflows.
- Collaboration features designed for cross-institutional teams and federated user access.
- Built-in provenance options to support reproducible research.
- Leverages platform identity for managing users from multiple organizations.
- Ideal for: Domain Communities, National Research Collaborations, and Scientific Societies.
Key Platform Differentiators
| Feature | The Value |
|---|---|
| Composability & Modular | Use only the components you need (Apps, Data, Compute, Publish) for a lean, custom deployment. |
| Low-Code / No-Code | Build and deliver a complete portal and custom application UIs without writing code, reducing development time. |
| Seamless Integration | Support for single hosts and Slurm clusters; cloud integration; federated identity (SSO; Globus Auth supported; Globus data transfer planned). |
| Built-in FAIRness | Make research outputs, data, and apps citable and compliant with FAIR principles. |
| Scalable & Managed | Grows from a lab prototype to an institutional solution; delivered as a managed service to reduce administrative burden. |
| Access Controls | |
| Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) | Fine-grained roles/permissions per tenant; group sharing planned. |
