From the conference web site: Crowdsourcing: The Art and Science of Open Innovation will explore new ways to incentivize innovation in biomedical research with the prize authority recently given to all federal agencies by Congress. The meeting will focus on the key aspects of this new approach that include: how to identify problems that can be solved through open innovation; how to communicate a scientific problem across disciplines—to a lay person or a technology geek; and how to test, evaluate and synergize the solutions.
This meeting is co-sponsored by National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), Public-Private Partnership Program (PPPP) and Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR).
