Managing the deluge of data from high-resolution microscopes, genome sequencers, and other research instruments is a growing burden for research computing professionals. Over the past seven years we have employed the modern research data portal (MRDP) design pattern to facilitate management of instrument-generated data, from creation through publication. In recent implementations of the design pattern, we incorporate data search, remote computation, and publication of resulting data products for downstream discovery, effectively making data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) by default. We will demonstrate one such implementation and describe how it may be used by science gateway developers to jumpstart their own efforts.
