Understanding the Biomechanical Properties of Facial Tissues

Challenge closed

Challenge overview

The Seeker is looking to identify partners that possess the necessary technical capabilities and expertise to characterize the biomechanical properties of facial tissues with the goal of gaining a deeper understanding of how these tissues contribute to facial structure, expressive movement, and changes with age, leading to the development of next generation medical care.

This is an electronic Request-for-Partners (eRFP) Challenge; the Solver will only need to submit a written proposal to be evaluated by the Seeker with the goal of establishing a collaborative partnership.

The Seeker believes that the next generation of medical face and eye care is based on a new paradigm that uses products for full-facial treatments and regeneration. In order to achieve that and develop novel products, a deep understanding of the biomechanical properties of facial tissues (bone, skin, fat, etc) and how each individually evolves with aging is required.

The current body of knowledge does not answer that question. Therefore, the Seeker is looking to identify partners that possess the necessary technical capabilities and expertise to develop this research work, and that are described in the Detailed Description of the Challenge.

This is an electronic Request-for-Partners (eRFP) Challenge. The Solver will write a preliminary proposal (up to 10 pages, including supporting non-confidential information and contact details) to be evaluated by the Seeker with a goal of establishing a collaborative partnership. Upon completion of the evaluation, the Seeker may contact selected Solvers directly to work out terms for a collaboration contract. The monetary value of the contract will vary depending on the amount of work to be delivered and the agreed upon time frame.

[NOTE: Only proposals from Solvers who have the ability to work as the collaboration partner will be considered.]

Submissions to this Challenge must be received by 11:59 PM (US Eastern Time) on March 6, 2017. Late submissions will not be considered.
