LAUNCH is a unique initiative organized by the USAID, NASA and the US Department of State to identify, showcase and support innovative approaches to humanity’s sustainability challenges through a series of forums on a specific sustainability challenge.
LAUNCH: Health is the second event in this series and it has a focus on health issues related to the first 20 years of life. This even is expected to bring together entrepreneurs from around the world who will be selected on their innovative approaches to addressing health issues.
LAUNCH: Health is seeking transformative innovations to improve health and quality of life on Earth – both in the developed and developing world – specifically in the first 20 years of life, in the following categories:
- Nutrition and food
- Physical activity
- Preventive health care
People can submit their ideas through the InnoCentive website, which allows hundreds of thousands of problem solvers throughout the world to collaborate on the posted challenges. Innovators can submit their health related proposals via the LAUNCH: Health challenge at: https://gw.innocentive.com/ar/challenge/9625880
Proposals will be accepted until September 13, 2010 when the challenge will close and the winners will be selected.
Those who are selected will be invited to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida Oct. 30-31 where the LAUNCH: Health forum will take place.

Can we use any format to send our proposal
community alert based in Uganda -Kampala city in Africa shall transport be provided in case you are selected? Isaac.
It is most excellent as well as informative and useful.
We as Rainbow Sustainable Solutions are developing new and innovative products from the worlds most neglected crop, the coconut.
From the waste we have developed cattle feed, fish feed, components for the car and ICT industry and bio-fuel.
However the coconut water and the (cold-pressed) coconut oil are known to enhance the immune system of human beings, especially very young children as it has many of the same properties as mother milk. The high percentage of lauric acid is partly responsible for this.
Developing and revitalizing existing coconut plantations will have a great impact on the lives of communities living in coconut producing countries.
Can we use any format to send our proposal. We are Sudanese Youths led National Non Govermental Org. and we are interested to apply for this funding
Thanks
