nature.com has teamed up with InnoCentive to offer its readers the opportunity to participate in research and development challenges. As a Solver, you can apply your expertise to important problems, stretch your creative boundaries, and win cash awards.
All Challenge postings and submissions are managed by InnoCentive.
Featured Challenge:
-
The <i>Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi)</i>, is looking for potential drug targets for kinetoplastid infectious diseases affecting the developing world (African Sleeping Sickness, Visceral Leishmaniasis, Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, and Chagas Disease). The focus is on chemically validated targets and associated small molecules. This Challenge requires only a written proposal.
Showing 1 - 18 out of 18 listings
-
This Challenge is asking InnoCentive Solvers to formulate well-defined problems aimed at advancing our knowledge about Type I Diabetes and ultimately eradication of the disease. This is an Ideation Challenge with a guaranteed award for at least one submitted solution.
-
Mild hydrolysis conditions for cleaving ester bonds in the presence of protein are desired.
-
A mechanism is desired that will have little or no release until triggered and then substantially release the entire payload in a burst.
-
The Seeker is looking for a partner to purify an enzymatically active recombinant human protease. This is an electronic Request-for-Partners (eRFP) Challenge; the Solver will need to submit a written proposal to be evaluated by the Seeker with a goal of establishing a collaborative partnership.
-
A formulation for enhanced binding of biocides to surfaces exposed to an aqueous environment is desired.
-
The Seeker is looking for methods to optimize sub-cellular localization tags for protein expression. This is a Theoretical Challenge that requires only written proposal to be submitted.
-
The Seeker is looking for novel approaches to protecting maize from insect damage. This Challenge requires only a written proposal.
-
The Seeker is looking for a statistical approach to deal with the variability in blood glucose data collected during continuous glucose monitoring. This is a Theoretical Challenge that requires a written proposal and source code.
-
The Seeker is looking for methods to analyze consumer emotions. This Challenge requires only a written description of the solution.
-
The analysis of adaptation with a population is a frequently encountered computational modeling scenario. The Seeker is looking for Solvers that may have insights into creating models of such scenarios. Solvers with diverse experiences – both computational and non-computational in nature are encouraged to participate in this Challenge.
-
This Challenge is looking for novel approaches to protein and nucleic acid detection. This is an Ideation Challenge with a guaranteed award for at least one submitted solution.
-
This Challenge is looking for novel approaches to analyzing changes at a single-cell level. This is an Ideation Challenge with a guaranteed award for at least one submitted solution.
-
A formulation for enhanced binding of biocides to surfaces exposed to an aqueous environment is desired.
-
The Seeker is looking for a method for protein extraction from oilseeds at high efficiency and reasonable purity. Solvers with protein purification experience are encouraged to read the Summary and Detailed Description sections for more information.
-
The Seeker is looking for experimental ways to avoid ion condensation in highly charged, crosslinked hydrogels.
-
The Seeker is looking for novel methods to mitigate zinc corrosion/gassing in alkaline media. This Challenge requires only a written description of the solution.
-
The Seeker is looking for a method of specifically binding DNA. As an Ideation Challenge, only a high-level proposal is required by Solvers and the best solution is guaranteed a prize. The total award money given out will be at least $5,000.
-
The Seeker is looking for inhibitors of corrosion. This Challenge requires only a written description of the solution.
