The Nitrogen Reduction Challenge sponsored by Tulane University offers $1 million to a team with the best solution to mitigate hypoxia in lakes and oceans.
Applications are now being accepted for the Nitrogen Reduction Challenge sponsored by Tulane University. This competition is seeking innovative in-field solutions that will reduce crop fertilizers and runoff, with the goal of combating hypoxia and global "dead zones" in the world's lakes and oceans. The $1 million prize will be awarded to the team that best addresses the challenge of providing an inland solution to these coastal problems. Once teams have registered and submitted a three-page technical abstract, the Challenge Advisory Committee will determine their eligibility for admission to the competition.
Award: $1 million
Eligibility: This competition is open to international applicants. All teams must designate a Team Leader.
Registration deadline: June 30 (including a three-page technical abstract)
