C-GOALS is the X-ray division of the GOALS project, a multi-wavelength
survey of bright, IRAS selected galaxies with HST, Spitzer, GALEX and
Chandra. The sample represents the most luminous infrared galaxies in
the local universe. 
While the X-ray survey with Chandra is yet half-completed, I will
present a brief overview of the project and preliminary X-ray results
from the Chandra Cycle-8 observations of 26 galaxies, along with some
well-known objects observed previously.  
These snap-shot X-ray observations provide the AGN detection rate,
their obscuration property, imaging of starburst-driven galactic
outflow and a measure of X-ray production efficiency at a given star
formation rate for the local, infrared-selected objects. As a
sub-product, the excellent imaging capability of Chandra resolved a
few X-ray emitting individual star-clusters associated with some of
the galaxies.
