I am excited to share that we are starting our 2021 seed grant awards selection. This year we have received 20 amazing problem statements from organizations operating in Myanmar, India, Bangladesh, South Sudan, Haiti, Nepal, Kenya and Senegal. We are also hoping to utilize our R&D for in-country impact via reciprocal innovation, by partnering with two organizations working with communities in Bronx, New York. Please read through the problem descriptions<https://engineering.purdue.edu/GEP/ShahLab/seed-grant-challenges/problem_statements_2021> and an overview of the organizations submitting the problems. At this point you will need to highlight the problem statement that is of your interest in this Qualtrics survey <https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ekTgGEKApvtnC3H?_ga=2.84107545.1441329619.1605541578-476607448.1586286479> . It is a short survey that has only 3 questions – your info, college and dept. and checkbox for problem statements that are of your interest. Please fill this form by Dec 7th. Please note that we will promptly close the survey after the deadline, so I would request you to fill it as soon as you can. As next steps, we will announce the problem statements selected to move forward in the process (week of Dec 14th) and schedule webinars with the organization’s representatives for deeper understanding of the challenge (first two weeks of Jan 2021). Please drop me a line if you have any question or concern.
