Discovery Park leadership will hold final Q&A session on Big Idea Challenge proposals

As the submission window draws to a close, Discovery Park will host a final question-and-answer session on Dec. 6 (Tuesday) for those interested in submitting Big Idea Challenge proposals. The session is intended to answer any last-minute questions that research teams may have about proposal requirements and the review and decision processes.

The session will be 4-5 p.m. in Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship, Room 121. Proposals are due on Dec. 20.

The Discovery Park Big Idea Challenge is a new program that will provide resources to interdisciplinary teams of Purdue faculty and students pursuing bold proposals involving interdisciplinary teams to address global challenges.

The program will fund selected teams for up to two years (depending on scope of the proposal) with a pool of strategic investment resources. Please refer to the program guidelines for proposal details.

Additional questions can be directed to Cliff Wojtalewicz, assistant director of Discovery Park, at cliffw@purdue.edu. A Big Idea Challenge F.A.Q. is also available online.
