The initiative relies on the contributions of voluntary contributions from the community towards creating a unique model for open science for epidemic response. The initiative aims to provide a unique and focussed approach to solving relevant problems through convergence of the best minds, data and algorithms in an open approach.

A citizen science initiative relies on voluntary contributions. The emphasis for participation in such an initiative therefore would not be based on formal qualifications, but strong motivation and commitment to contribute the best of his/her skill sets to the initiative.
