N1 - Funding Information:
The USD Research Computing Group Science Gateway was implemented with support from the Science Gateways Community Institute (NSF award #1547611). Development of the Apache Airavata used to develop the science gateway is supported by NSF award #1339774. The USD Lawrence cluster was obtained through a combination of state and federal funding: a FY16 SD Board of Regents Research and Development Innovation award, and National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation award #1626516. The USD Legacy cluster was obtained through an NIH Institutional Development award (#P20GM103443). Additional Legacy upgrades have been funded by both NIH and USD College of Arts & Sciences.

N2 - Science Gateways are virtual environments that accelerate scientific discovery by enabling scientific communities to more easily and effectively utilize distributed computing and data resources. Successful Science Gateways provide access to sophisticated and powerful resources, while shielding their users from the underlying complexities. Here we present work completed by the University of South Dakota (USD) Research Computing Group in conjunction with the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) [1] and Indiana University on setting up a Science Gateway to access USD's high-performance computing resources. These resources are now available to both faculty and students and allow ease of access and use of USD's distributed computing and data resources. The implementation of this gateway project has been multifaceted and has included placement of federated user login, user facilitation and outreach, and integration of USD's cyberinfrastructure resources. We present this project as an example for other research computing groups so that they may learn from our successes and the challenges that we have overcome in providing this user resource. Additionally, this project serves to exemplify the importance of creating a broad user base of research computing infrastructure through the development of alternative user interfaces such as Science Gateways.
