Propose an idea to improve U.S. Census data sources. In Spring 2023, ten of the most innovative and promising ideas were awarded $10,000 each and invited to join the Phase 2 cohort.
Iterate on your idea from Phase 1, with insight and feedback from supply chain data experts. Teams will be challenged to develop a clear implementation roadmap and articulate a value proposition. Finalists with the most promising roadmaps will receive awards to move to Phase 3.
Test your roadmap in a real-world scenario. Prototype demos are evaluated on their potential to serve the U.S. Census Bureau’s mission and goals, and ultimately have the opportunity to be awarded additional funds and pursue adoption by the U.S. Census Bureau. Missed Phase 2? Don’t worry, new “walk on” teams have the opportunity to join in Phase 3.
