Sponsor Deadline:

May 31, 2024

Description:

This opportunity allows medical, clinical, or health research researchers (particularly early career researchers) to present their proposal publicly, tell the story of why it is important, and build a community of both fellow researchers, as well as interested non-researchers, that can financially back the project to get it funded.

Researchers must crowdfund a certain portion of their budget, as well as meet other social engagement metrics, to become eligible for the prize. The goal is that, even for the projects that do not win the research prize, they will have crowdfunded sufficient money and built enough of a community that they can continue forward with their research proposal without the prize funding.

Competition: March 1 – May 31, 2024.
