About the Health Innovation Challenge
Innovations
in health and healthcare are sparking new approaches to wellness, to
care and treatment, to safety and access. If you have a passion
for health innovation, a knack for solving problems, and the desire to
make an impact, form a team and enter the new
Health Innovation Challenge
and pitch your idea to 100+ judges the afternoon of March 3rd, 2016.
What is eligible?
Prototype
funding can spur development and help convey your idea to a broader
audience. We have funding available to help with creating a
physical model, object, or device. Student teams are invited to
apply for funds that can be used to purchase materials, rent equipment,
or hire short-term workers with high level skills beyond the team’s
capacity.
Let
the review committee know you have worked hard to get discounts, free
items, pro-bono work from experts that will augment your need for
funds. Prototype funding may
not be used for marketing, business cards, displays,
signage, visuals, etc. You cannot buy computers, 3-D printers, phones,
or pay team members, transportation or lodging. You cannot use funds
for legal or other professional fees. Awards generally
are between $500 and $3000, although other requests will be considered.
