World Community Grid enables anyone with a computer, smartphone or tablet to donate their unused computing power to advance cutting-edge scientific research on topics related to health, poverty and sustainability. Through the contributions of over 650,000 individuals and 460 organizations, World Community Grid has supported 25 research projects to date, including searches for more effective treatments for cancer, HIV/AIDS and neglected tropical diseases. Other projects are looking for low-cost water filtration systems and new materials for capturing solar energy efficiently.

-It won't slow you down.
The software monitors your device’s performance, so whatever you are doing on your device, it stays out of the way.

-It won't drain your battery.
By default, World Community Grid only runs when you’re connected to power.

-As a volunteer, you’re totally protected.
Your personal information will never be shared. The software cannot access your personal files. Security experts constantly test the system for vulnerabilities to the latest threats.

-It won't use up your mobile data plan.
World Community Grid only downloads research tasks and uploads results when you’re connected to a wireless network.

Hello everyone. I'm the absent captain of the Dollars team on World Community Grid. I have not still not been able to get a working computer to contribute any results for the last few months.

Seeing how they have taken more action than I ever did for outreach and contributions, I have appointed FindMuck the captain. I'll be back someday!

I agree, there seems to be little to no work lately. I just qued up several activities that I found not directly tied to Dollars. Not sure who is in charge of applying the group intentioned projects but they should make sure they are checking in on it at least once a month if not more. If they cant, I can help.
