Happy New Year!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am writing to you about NYSDOH’s Aging Innovation Challenge, known as\u00a0HeroX Challenge.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
NYSDOH have\u00a0launched a pre-registration site<\/a>\u00a0with a description of the challenge, including a problem statement and a call “to develop prototypes that will assist aging New Yorkers and their caregivers in completing activities of daily living (ADLs).”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The challenge will be open to all undergraduate and graduate students attending a college or university in New York State. Faculty may participate on a team with one or more students. Written proposals will be due by\u00a0April 30, 2018<\/span><\/span>, and selected proposers will be invited to submit a final project by\u00a0November 1, 2018<\/span><\/span>. By\u00a0November 15, 2018<\/span><\/span>, five finalists will be invited to make a live demonstration of their prototypes during the week of\u00a0November 28, 2018<\/span><\/span>. There is $50,000 committed in total prize money.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
NYSDOH wants universities to help spread the word of this opportunity through communications and outreach to academic leadership. They also suggested that faculty could use this challenge as part of a course assignment. If you could help spread the word or include in coursework, that would be great. If you do plan on participating, please let me know so I can advise NYU Government Affairs of NYU involvement.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More information can be found about the competition on the\u00a0pre-registration site<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With many thanks,<\/div>\n
