In the Submit a Proposal page you can see what type of orgs. mus apply and in the Request for Proposal you can see that the results of a project are public domain.
BUT this is not obvious and I have had hard times with paranoid people that needs this to be easily read from the website. This info was this way in the old website, can you please put this back on? |

Thanks for the feedback. We've added to our to-do list to review this page and make sure that the public domain information is more clearer on this page.

Specially this:
----------------------------------------"World Community Grid is designed as a resource for research done with a philanthropic or humanitarian purpose and will only be available to projects conducted for public and not-for-profit purposes. It will serve as a useful tool for the completion of a certain stage of research, hastening the progress of projects into further phases of development. Results must be made available to the global research community by the sponsoring research organization and remain in the public domain. Because projects must serve to promote human welfare directly or indirectly, it is anticipated that projects in the following disciplines will be run on World Community Grid: · New and existing infectious disease research · Genomic and disease research · Natural disasters and hunger · Environmental Research Research We Support World Community Grid supports research that is: * Focused on solving problems to benefit humanity; * Conducted by public or nonprofit organizations; * Contributed to the public domain; and * Accelerated by grid computing technology." Thank you. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Nov 12, 2009 4:54:01 PM] |
