Seeking Compounds with Remarkably Strong Odors



Material supply of compounds which have remarkably strong odors is desired. The nature of the odor is not important (e.g. pleasant or unpleasant), only its strength. The Seeker intends to award multiple Solvers for each of their qualifying submissions.
Intellectual Property: In return for the Initial Transfer Fee of $500 per compound, you are expected to grant the Seeker only a non-exclusive license to test your compound(s) in their in-house assays and/or use the compound(s) to prepare other compounds for in-house testing.
Challenge 9932847
Deadline: January 9, 2012
Reward: Varies
Referral Award: Varies

3V-Electrolyte for a Rechargeable Magnesium Battery



There is a need for new candidates for an electrolyte material for a rechargeable magnesium battery that has a breakdown voltage of ~3V vs. Mg/Mg2+. Samples and data are required, but theoretical solutions will be considered for a smaller award.
Challenge 9932807
Deadline: November 16, 2011
Reward: $30,000
Referral Award: $3,000

Seeking Inhibitors of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH, EC 3.5.1.99)



Material supply of compounds which are inhibitors of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH, EC 3.5.1.99) is desired. Potential structures which meet this requirement, as well as additional information about this enzyme, are provided in the Detailed Description of this Challenge. The Seeker intends to award multiple Solvers for each of their qualifying submissions.
Intellectual Property: In return for the Initial Transfer Fee of $300 per compound, you are expected to grant the Seeker only a non-exclusive license to test your compound(s) in their in-house assays and/or use the compound(s) to prepare other compounds for in-house testing.
Challenge 9932869

Deadline: January 10, 2012
Reward: Varies
Referral Award: Varies

InnoCentive 2012 Video Challenge: Unlikely Innovation


This is the fifth annual InnoCentive video Challenge with the goal of getting to know our Solvers and discovering their passions. This Challenge is open to everyone, with prizes in three categories: open, US colleges, and international colleges. InnoCentive will choose the winners based on what it feels are the best submissions matching this year's theme. Winning videos may be used in future marketing campaigns, and the winning Solvers may be asked to participate in promotions on behalf of InnoCentive. The winning college Solvers will also be required to show proof of enrollment in the form of a letter from the registrar, as well as a school ID stating that the Solvers are full time students at the time of the Challenge deadline.
