Not medical research or anything, so no direct 'benefit to humanity',
but as I recall there is a neutrino beam experiment which has a
distributed processing client. You run single Monte Carlo events for
them, helping them to build up their simulated event sample.
(sorry - I can't get a precise enough Google query to find it)

BTW, there are a few projects listed on  http://www.gridcomputing.com
Look for the section on P2P Integrated Systems

The particle accelerator design is interesting - again you simulate
single events.
Linux and Solaris clients, Richard. Now I'm SURE you have some serious
Solaris power...
