On Friday, April 27, 2007, Grid.org announced it has completed its mission to demonstrate the viability and benefits of large-scale Internet-based grid computing, and will be retiring its famous efforts to support critical health research.

Future actions
At a certain point, virtual molecules must give way to the real thing. Using the newly identified pharmacophore as a new map, a research lab then must synthesize and test molecules in a lab environment to analyze non-virtual reactions. In Public Good Projects, rights to the research results remain with non-profit or government organizations that are dedicated to disease-fighting research.

This will mark the beginning of many tests that must take place in a lab to test a drug and move towards the commercial production required to help real patients. Identifying molecule interactions is a good start on the road to a cure, but a good biochemical reaction isn't all that is needed. The molecules then need to be tested to ensure that they work with the human body. And they need to be affordable to synthesize so that a viable drug can be developed from them.
