What is Project Discovery
Project Discovery is a "citizen science", participation in scientific research by the lay community, project within EVE Online. A collaboration between CCP Games, Reyjavik University, the Human Protein Atlas, and Massively Multiplayer Online Science, it is used to characterize the structures of cells, using your identification skills, and will help scientists identify proteins within human cells. A brief tutorial and introduction to mechanics is present in the game.
In-game, the Sisters of EVE run Project Discovery for capsuleers to assist in identification of Drifter biological samples.
In addition to the above scientific participation and benefits, capsuleers also gain benefits within EVE Online. Each slide submitted results in a small amount of ISK - determined by your accuracy rating, with an accuracy of 50% conferring 50,000 ISK per slide, minus corporation tax - as well as Project Discovery-specific loyalty kredits with the Sisters of EVE.

Basic Mechanics
Project Discovery can be accessed using your NeoCom, under the Business tab. Beginning to use it is as simple as pressing this button, then this button and following the tutorial.
Its workflow consists of:
- Completing the Tutorial
- Presentation with a new slide
- Clicking on one or more cellular structure buttons, indicating you believe that the green stain is identifying those structures
- Submitting the Image
- Feedback (if enough other players have completed the slide; if not, no feedback will be available yet)
- Rewards: ISK, Project Discovery Experience Points, and Sisters of EVE Loyalty Kredits (not Loyalty Points)
