This paper introduces The Virtual Data Col-laboratory (VDC), a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that aims at building such a cyberinfrastructure across Rutgers University (RU) in New Jersey and Penn State University (PSU) in Pennsylvania, with the potential to incorporate additional research institutions across the nation. The overarching goal of VDC is to transform shared data as a core modality for research and discovery. VDC is a federated data cyberinfras-tructure that is designed to drive data-intensive, interdisciplinary and collaborative research and enable data-driven science and engineering discoveries. VDC accomplishes this goal by providing seamless access to data
