Current and Upcoming Prize Challenges
PSCR has long relied on prize challenges and other crowdsourcing opportunities to advance critical research objectives within its current and past portfolios. PSCR continues to assess opportunities to use crowdsourcing techniques as a research method to align with portfolio and division objectives. Any future prize challenges will be published to and announced on this page and Challenge.gov. We encourage you to check back periodically to learn about possible opportunities to engage in crowdsourcing activities with the PSCR team or reach out to us at psprizes [at] nist.gov (psprizes[at]nist[dot]gov).
“The most exciting part was actually meeting the frontline firefighters. It was the first time that we were able to show (our solution) to the User and see what they think of it.”
