The KidneyX Empower: Living Link Prize Challenge is a dual track competition with a $4,000,000 USD prize purse, designed to accelerate solutions that increase living kidney donation across the United States. The Challenge focuses on addressing key “friction points” that prevent potential donors from starting or completing the donation process, including informational gaps, financial barriers, and care coordination challenges.
Innocentive is supporting this initiative by inviting members of our Solver community and beyond to participate in the official KidneyX Challenge if you meet the U.S. eligibility requirements.
The KidneyX Empower Challenge includes a total prize pool of $4,000,000 USD, with multiple awards of min. $375,000 available for validated solutions and prototypes, as well as a potential $1,000,000 grand prize for the solution demonstrating the greatest impact and long-term effects.
This Challenge is a connection opportunity. Clicking ‘Join the Living Link Prize on KidneyX’ will open a window where you can submit full proposals directly to the KidneyX Empower Challenge platform!
