These challenges are focused on tackling some of the most pressing health concerns in the US, but they are simultaneously supporting radical entrepreneurship. Each of the innovation challenges below are slightly different in their process (some have demo days and mentorships in addition to prize monies), but they are all unique in that they reward great ideas with cash while not taking any equity stake from the entrepreneur. It's free money and support, and may just get really great concepts in the hands of people who need them. Keep an eye on the following challenges, or better yet, submit your ideas:

• Deadline: March 16 - Pfizer & Janssen Alzheimer's Challenge
• Deadline: March 23 - Sanofi Data Design Diabetes Innovation Challenge
• Deadline: March 25 - Janssen Connected Care Challenge
• Deadline: July 6 - Allscripts Million Hearts Initiative CDS Challenge

Improving Design Decision Making and Concept Evaluation
—Venue TBA, Boston, Massachusetts
Even though decision-making is of vital importance to the success of design projects, there is little formal training in design schools, and managers often rely only on intuition when making critical strategic decisions about projects and even their own firm.

The final half-day of the seminar will focus on a specific type of decision, concept evaluation. In this section, participants will learn methods and tools for prioritizing and evaluating design alternatives, guiding the most important decision of the design process: which one of the ideas is best for the organization and the customer.

Collecting Design: History, Collections, Highlights
—New York School of Interior Design, New York, New York
Collecting modern and contemporary design has become one of the most dynamic and influential—and often surprising focuses of the international marketplace. While at the turn of the millennium it was mainly fueled by the energy of the fine art market, modern and contemporary design has since emerged as a study and discipline in its own right. It has influenced the design vocabulary of our time, transforming high-end interior design so that singular objects play a prominent role.

The collectors of design have, in turn, become taste-makers and trend forecasters, and makers of culture, taste, and status. The field has grown enormously, generating market reports, art fairs, museum exhibitions, research projects, scholarship, monographs, and endless headlines, and was even identified by Wall Street Journal as a lucrative venue of investment.

New York School of Interior Design, MODERN Magazine, and Phillips de Pury & Company present the first comprehensive educational program devoted to the study of collecting modern and contemporary design. Collecting Design: History, Collections, Highlights explores the following themes and styles in a weekly two-hour class (offered in two sessions): The American Arts and Crafts Movement, Viennese Design and the Wiener Werkstatte, French Art Deco and Modernism, Mid-Century American Design, French Postwar Design; The American Studio Movement; Postmodernism; Collecting Contemporary Design. The course will culminate with an expert-led, private tour behind the scenes of the Design exhibition at Phillips de Pury. Students will get a hands-on examination of objects, essential to any collecting activity.

Stefan Sagmeister - The Happy Show
—The Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister not only tests the boundary between art and design, he often transgresses it through his imaginative implementation of typography. Filling the Institute of Contemporary Art's (ICA) entire second-floor galleries and Ramp, and activating the in-between spaces of the museum, The Happy Show offers visitors the experience of walking into the designer's mind as he attempts to increase his happiness via mediation, cognitive therapy, and mood-altering pharmaceuticals. "I am usually rather bored with definitions," Sagmeister says. "Happiness, however, is just such a big subject that it might be worth a try to pin it down." Centered around the designer's ten-year exploration of happiness, this exhibition presents typographic investigations of a series of maxims, or rules to live by, originally culled from Sagmeister's diary, manifested in a variety of imaginative and interactive forms.
