The cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid, or caBIG is an initiative of the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health.
caBIG is a voluntary virtual informatics infrastructure that connects data, research tools, scientists, and organizations to leverage their combined strengths and expertise in an open federated environment with widely accepted standards and shared tools. The underlying service oriented infrastructure that supports caBIG is referred to as caGrid. Driven primarily by scientific use cases from the cancer research community, caGrid provides the core enabling infrastructure necessary to compose the Grid of caBIG. It provides the technology that enables collaborating institutions to share information and analytical resources efficiently and securely, while also allowing investigators to easily contribute to and leverage the resources of a national-scale, multi-institutional environment.

Though caGrid is a suite of products, typically caGrid refers to the Core Infrastructure.
caGrid leverages version 4.03 of the Globus Toolkit, produced by the Globus Alliance.
The caGrid Portal is a
Web-based application built on Liferay Portal that enables users to discover
and interact with the services that are available on the caGrid
infrastructure. Portal serves as the primary visualization tool for
the caGrid middleware,
and provides a standards-based platform for hosting caBIG-related
tools. It also serves as a caBIG information source. Through the
caGrid Portal, users have instant access to information about caBIG
participants, caGrid points of contact (POCs), and caGrid-related
news and events. 
caGrid Workflow leverages both:
