Good Questions Meet Big Data

In July 2017, Translational Innovator issued a data ideation challenge: “Good Questions Meet Big Data.” Applicants were asked to identify a human health problem that might be resolved using big data and a computational solution. Entries were required to be problems that could be addressed with clinical and translational research in areas such as diagnostics, therapeutics, public health, technology, or outcomes.

A total of $10,000 in prizes were awarded to 11 winners.
