Solvers do not need any special qualification at all - our Solvers include individuals and research organizations, students, professionals, retirees, and people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Research has shown that many of our Challenges are won by people outside their own field of expertise - a chemist solving an engineering Challenge, for example. Let me know if this answers your question - and thanks for taking the time to read and comment on our blog. Connie Hi Aruna -

Prize4Life was the first Seeker to incorporate this funcationality as part of their ALS Biomarker Challenge (#4470259). Unfortunately, the challenge recently expired and is currently "Under evaluation" so the discussion board is only available to those Solvers who opened a project room prior to the Challenge deadline. Challenge-level discussion boards is an optional feature available to all Seekers. Based on our current Seeker conversations, we expect another Challenge-level discussion board to go live within the next 2-4 weeks. As soon as the next discussion board is live, I'll be sure to blog about it so you will have a chance to participate and see it in action. As always, we love your feedback. Keep it coming! Hi Sjors,
