Enter our COVID 19 Challenge Competition!
The Division of Research wants to hear your ideas in the following two categories:
Clinical/Research:
How can we help physicians, researchers and healthcare workers meet the demands of the COVID19 outbreak? How can they adapt or better respond to this pandemic?
Social Science/Education:
Social distancing has affected all of us. From the lack of visitors in hospitals and nursing homes, to being self-quarantined with nowhere to go. How can we help mitigate these stressors while staying connected as a community?
This challenge has two parts!
- A pre-proposal stage-submit a very brief summary of the problem that you will address and your solution. Judge’s will review based on feasibility, potential for implementation and potential impact.
- Those who pass the first stage will be invited to submit full proposals with a more detailed description, be provided support with implementation (as needed) and cash prizes are awarded based on best overall idea/execution/positive impact.
1st Place wins $2,000 per team to start the project
2nd Place wins $1,000 per team/project to start the project
Please follow this link to submit your application online. The deadline for submissions is April 3, 2020.
