The challenge in turn forms part of the UsefulChem project, an ongoing [[open notebook science]] effort to synthesize and screen potential new anti-malarial drugs.<ref name="UsefulChem">[http://usefulchem.wikispaces.com/ UsefulChem]</ref> Data from the Solubility Challenge will be used to build predictive computational models of solubility for use in optimising syntheses.<ref name="predictions">[http://rguha.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/ons-solubility-predictions/ ONS solubility modeling and prediction]</ref>

The challenge began on September 28, 2008<ref name="began">[httphttps://usefulchem.blogspot.com/2008/09/open-notebook-science-challenge.html The beginning of the Open Notebook Science challenge]</ref> and, as of February 2014, involves researchers and their students from at least 4 different institutions<ref name="experiments">[http://onschallenge.wikispaces.com/list+of+experiments List of experiments]</ref> and has resulted in the acquisition of over 7672 solubility measurements.<ref name=measurements>[lxsrv7.oru.edu/~alang/onsc/chemspace/cs.php Solubility of Organic Compounds in Organic Solvents]</ref>
