Open Commons Consortium (OCC) operates cloud computing resources, data commons, and data ecosystems to support scientific, medical, health care, and environmental research with outcomes that benefit human and societal welfare. It handles consortium and project management, legal agreements and governance, cloud infrastructure operations, and the security and compliance required to run these services. The organization serves researchers and institutions seeking centralized data collaboration platforms and scalable infrastructure to advance analytic and biomedical inquiries without compromising governance or data protection. OCC is based in Chicago, Illinois, and functions as a division of the Center for Computational Science Research Inc., a nonprofit organization supporting research and applications across scientific domains. A notable recent development involves OCC’s collaboration with P33 Chicago and MATTER to launch a COVID-19 Data Commons Project, aiming to centralize coronavirus patient data from across the state. The entity operates within the research services sector, focusing on data-centric solutions that enable large-scale, collaborative scientific work.
