Inaugural Brain Fitness Innovation Awards: FAQs

We are receiv­ing many good ques­tions about the new Brain Fit­ness Inno­va­tion Awards; below you have a few Fre­quent­ly Asked Ques­tions. Please let us know if you have any more questions!

Is there a for­mal nom­i­na­tion process?
No. Any orga­ni­za­tion can sub­mit an entry, and/ or encour­age oth­ers to do so.

Can a ven­dor and a client orga­ni­za­tion sub­mit a joint entry? if not, who sub­mits the entry, and who wins the Award?
The Awards are designed to direct­ly rec­og­nize Users, not Ven­dors. The pri­ma­ry orga­ni­za­tion to sub­mit an entry and receive the Award is the one using lat­est tools and pro­grams (tech­nol­o­gy-based on not) to take care of the brain fit­ness of their own clients/ patients/ employ­ees. Now, the tools and pro­grams used will be pub­licly rec­og­nized as part of Award Winner’s entry and case study.

Your eval­u­a­tion cri­te­ria include “Val­ue of Lessons Learned” (20%). What you mean by ‘lessons learned”?
Pio­neers are will­ing to learn by doing and to share insights from their expe­ri­ence with oth­er orga­ni­za­tions which may be con­sid­er­ing sim­i­lar ini­tia­tives. For exam­ple, what were some dif­fi­cul­ties in imple­ment­ing and grow­ing the pro­gram? what was end user response? how were results mea­sured? what tool/s were select­ed and why?

Will the infor­ma­tion con­tained in the sub­mit­ted Entries be shared? They may be great case studies
Full 3 Win­ning Entries will be shared pub­licly, while full Final­ist Entries will only be shared with Sum­mit participants.
