Within SCIRAD, there are four main groups that focus on:
- a wide range of applications for domain scientists in the physical and life sciences
- a center with an interactive collaboration environment for scientists and engineers incorporating state of the art visualization, computational and data analysis resources
- end-to-end scientific data management in data-intensive computing, employing integration, mining, querying, modeling, workflows, spatial analysis
- the National Laboratory for Advanced Data Research (NLADR), a scalable cyberinfrastructure to support data driven science, in collaboration with NCSA
