The primary mission of the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation (CCRG) is to foster scientific knowledge and discovery in computational relativity and gravitational astrophysics. The Center also promotes excellence in research and education in closely  related areas in applied and computational mathematics, physics and computer science.

Created in January 2007 in the School of Mathematical Sciences (SMS) at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), the CCRG includes a core team of interdisciplinary faculty, researchers and students in the mathematical, physical and computer sciences. CCRG core members also collaborate with the RIT Astrophysics Group, the Center of Applied and Computational Mathematics (CACM), and the Center for Advancing the Study of Cyberinfrastructure (CASCI).
