Hola a todos, estas son convocatorias abiertas que ponen empresas muy
grandes a problemas muy pesados. Se que el alcance de investigacion que
requiere aplicar a una de esas es demasiado grande, sin embargo, creo que
podria interesarles al menos saber que este tipo de convocatorias
existen...
sean felices

           America Competes Act - the US Government enables a fresh approach
to innovation
by Dwayne Spradlin, President and CEO

[image: dwayne-spradlin-border] As we've discussed before, we at InnoCentive
believe that Challenges and Challenge Driven Innovation (CDI) are
transformative, representing a fundamentally better way to manage and
distribute work and innovation to achieve unprecedented results. This
approach takes maximum advantage of diverse, passionate, creative, and
inventive problem solvers from all over the world available "on demand".
Sometimes referred to as Crowdsourcing, Open Innovation, or Prizes, this
approach is already being used broadly in the commercial and not for profit
(NFP) spaces. READ

  Mitigating the Swiss Cheese Factor in Molecular Libraries
Alph Bingham, InnoCentive Founder

[image: Alph Bingham Small] InnoCentive founder Alph Bingham addresses the
gaps in most molecular compound libraries and the new ways InnoCentive is
reaching out to Solvers to help close those gaps.

The very concept of molecular space is an intriguing one. But even after
decades, it seems a rigorous (rigid?) standard has never developed for
defining this space. Are the axes topological alone? Are they graph
theoretical and limited to connectivity? Are they electronic? Do they
include physical or chemical properties associated more with the nature of
the substance than the behavior of a single molecule? Well, yes. All of the
above, depending on application, assumptions and objectives. READ

  We Heard You! New and Improved Novel Molecule Challenges
by Christian Stevenson, Innovation Program Manager

[image: Christian_Stevenson_Border] As an organic chemist and Innovation
Program Manager at InnoCentive, one of my favorite things to do is to work
with our dynamic Solver community to help them solve our Seekers' pressing
problems. I recently had an opportunity to do that in a very direct way when
we carried out two surveys of our Solvers. InnoCentive was seeking ways to
make Solvers happier with our Novel Molecule
Challenges<http://click.email.innocentive.com/?ju=fe23157177630d7a701177&ls=fdfc11727762057974117676&m=fef91270706102&l=fe8a15797c6c017875&s=fe1e11797c62037d731370&jb=ffcf14&t=>.
We did this even though InnoCentive was already giving Solvers an
opportunity to find potential uses for the compounds they already had and
get rewarded for it in the process - for a total of over *$350,000* in
awards to date for NMCs alone.  *READ

  I'm a Solver - Horace Lee
Horace Lee is the winner of the JC Virus or Polyomavirus Animal Model
Challenge

[image: Horace Lee - border] I am a research assistant working on viral
innate immunity in HKU-Pasteur Research Centre at the University of Hong
Kong. Before that, I was a master student in the Hong Kong University of
Science and Technology and my thesis was on animal neurodevelopment. I have
a broad interest in science, no matter they are related to my current work
or not. Reading books and journals is my favorite pastime simply because I
love science.

I have always had a passion in innovation, especially with approaches that
unravel the basic mechanisms of life. However, as a research assistant I had
had little chance to innovate before I finally came across InnoCentive
through an online advertisement last May. READ

  Seeker Spotlight: Community Foundation of North Louisiana
An interview with Paula Hickman, Executive Director for the Community
Foundation of North Louisiana

[image: NLCF-Blog]We recently posted a
Challenge<http://click.email.innocentive.com/?ju=fe29157177630d7a701270&ls=fdfc11727762057974117676&m=fef91270706102&l=fe8a15797c6c017875&s=fe1e11797c62037d731370&jb=ffcf14&t=>with
Community Foundation of North Louisiana, to help them Create a
Community of Successful Readers. We asked Paula Hickman to talk to us a bit
about this Challenge.

This is a really interesting Challenge, with the potential to have a huge
impact on both students and communities. Can you tell us a bit about your
organization? 2011 actually marks the 50th anniversary of The Community
Foundation of North Louisiana. Since 1961, we've acted as a public charity,
strengthening the community in North Louisiana through philanthropy. To
date, we've awarded nearly $40,000,000 in grants and scholarships - an
astounding feat when you consider The Foundation was created with just
$21,000. Fundamentally, our goal is to improve our community and the lives
of those in it, and we do that through our generous donors and by convening
nonprofit organizations and supporting their valuable and varying
missions. READ
