}}</ref> Once data has been collected and distributed by the [[LHC Computing Grid]], the Open Science Grid assists physicists from institutions around the world in analysis. The grid has been designed so that resources and data are shared automatically: {{quote|It's really driven not so much by where the physicists come from, but what their interests are. Physicists will be able to submit jobs to this distributed network of centers and not worry about which center that their job is actually going to run on, because the data for their task will already be there.|Robert Gardner, Senior Research Associate at [[The University of Chicago]]}}<ref>{{Cite web
