Selection process

The selection process is a multi-stage, jury-judged global competition. After submission, entries undergo rigorous screening and evaluation by an expert committee of leading scientists, clinicians, policymakers, and innovators. Shortlisted teams are identified based on novelty, scientific rigor, potential impact, and feasibility. These teams may be asked to provide more information or participate in in-depth interviews. Finalists are selected and announced, leading to a comprehensive review by a Grand Jury, which determines the sole winner. The entire process spans approximately 13 months.
