Nutrient Sensor Action Challenge Marks Progress with Stage II Launch
The Nutrition Sensor Action Challenge, a joint initiative of the U.S. government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has seen significant progress with the launch of its second stage on March 1, 2018. This stage, with a prize pool of $150,000, aimed to showcase the effective use of low-cost sensors, innovative partnerships, and data integration in decision-making to combat pollution.
The Challenge, part of a suite of initiatives addressing pollution, began with Stage I in 2017. This stage required participants to submit action plans for sensor deployment. Following this, Stage II launched with an initial deadline of February 28, 2018. However, due to the government shutdown, the deadline was extended to February 28, 2019. This extension allowed more participants, including the League of Women Voters of Illinois, South Platte Water Renewal Partners, and the University of New Hampshire, to submit their innovative solutions and ultimately win the stage.
The Nutrition Sensor Action Challenge is a collaborative effort involving multiple U.S. agencies. These include the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Together, they aim to demonstrate the use of nutrition sensors in managing pollution, as initially launched in 2017.
The Nutrition Sensor Action Challenge, through its various stages and initiatives, has successfully fostered innovative solutions to address pollution. The winners of Stage II, along with other participants, have shown the potential of low-cost sensors, partnerships, and data integration in decision-making. This collaborative effort, involving multiple U.S. agencies, continues to make strides in managing pollution.
