HOW IT WORKS

DONATE YOUR DEVICE’S SPARE COMPUTING POWER TO HELP SCIENTISTS SOLVE THE WORLD’S
BIGGEST PROBLEMS.

SCIENTISTS NEED YOUR HELP

They’re searching for answers to the world’s biggest problems, but it’s hard to
know where to start. That’s why many use computer simulations to point them in
the right direction.

YOUR DEVICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE

As a World Community Grid volunteer, your device does research calculations when
it has spare power. With your help, scientists can identify the most important
results to study in the lab, bringing them one step closer to discoveries that
save lives and address global problems.

YOU CAN HELP RESEARCHERS

 * Help scientists provide more accurate rainfall forecasts for farmers in
   sub-Saharan Africa.
 * Help researchers study the bacteria that causes tuberculosis, so they can
   learn how to better fight it.
 * Help search for molecular markers that could lead to improved cancer
   detection and treatment.
 * Help search for potential treatments for COVID-19.
 * Search for better childhood cancer treatments.

CRUCIAL DATA, BETTER CROPS.

95% of agriculture in Africa depends on rainfall. This project uses massive
computing power, data from The Weather Company, and other data to provide more
accurate rainfall forecasts, which will help farmers more successfully raise
crops.

Join


HELP STOP TB

Tuberculosis kills approximately 1.5 million people every year, making it one of
the world's deadliest infectious diseases. You can help researchers learn more
about this disease and how to overcome it.

HELP IMPROVE THE ODDS FOR CANCER PATIENTS

Mapping Cancer Markers is analyzing millions of data points collected from
thousands of healthy and cancerous patient tissue samples. By comparing these
different data points, researchers aim to identify patterns of markers for
different cancers and correlate them with different outcomes, including
responsiveness to various treatment options.

OPENPANDEMICS - COVID-19

COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV2, a virus of the coronavirus family.
These viruses cause diseases that affect mainly the human respiratory system and
potentially other major organs. COVID-19 can lead to serious illness or even
death. You and your computer can help scientists find potential treatments for
the symptoms of this disease.

HELP RESEARCHERS SMASH CHILDHOOD CANCER

Since 2009, World Community Grid has been part of the fight against childhood
cancer. This project continues that work by expanding the search for better
treatments to more types of childhood cancer.

Join

WITH YOUR HELP, WORLD COMMUNITY GRID RESEARCHERS HAVE…

Identified new drugs in the fight against neuroblastoma - a childhood cancer.



Discovered how nanotechnology could help provide clean water to millions.



Discovered new compounds for harnessing solar power.



BY THE NUMBERS

812k

Volunteers have donated their spare computing power towards research
initiatives.

7.6M

Computers and Android devices have contributed to the vast network that makes up
Community Grid.

2.5M

Years of computing power has been contributed to date.

FEATURES

It won’t slow you down



Our 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.

It’s safe and secure



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 waste your data plan



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.

RESEARCHERS SAY…

Without World Community Grid, we wouldn't have even contemplated this project.
