The other focuses on technologies for processing and handling large amounts of data. WARF will award 3-4 grants from a $100,000 pool for each challenge.

“We’re excited to support a new generation of technologies focused on our emotional, psychological and social well-being, as well as technologies that help turn data into actionable information,” WARF CEO Erik Iverson said in a statement. “We look forward to seeing how UW-Madison researchers take on these challenges.”

Criteria for submissions include: project team must include a Principal Investigator (PI) at UW-Madison or the Morgridge Insitute for Research, and concepts must be new, have technical readiness and have commercial potential.

Applications for both mental health and big data challenges are due by Dec. 15.
