The America COMPETES Act allows us to use cash prizes as a type of award to spur innovations and create solutions for better health. These competitions are distinct from our Notices of Funding Opportunities.
Our challenge competitions engage new solvers and bring new thinking to address critical issues facing the maternal and child population.
Through these prize competitions, we support developing ideas, new technologies, products, and services to improve the health of the communities we serve.
