From: Today in Manufacturing - 02/02/2015

GE, the NFL, the sports performance brand Under Armour, and National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have launched a new open
innovation challenge seeking to protect athletes, soldiers and workers in
dangerous jobs from traumatic brain injuries. The challenge will focus on
developing advanced materials that can absorb or diffuse impact energy.

The challenge, which is open to anyone, will award up to $2 million to the
most successful participants. Their materials will be independently tested by
NIST, which is part of the US Department of Commerce.

Challenge I: Methods for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Mild Traumatic Brain
Injuries

Challenge II: Innovative Approaches For Preventing and Identifying Brain
Injuries

Challenge III: Advanced Materials for Impact Mitigation
