A. INTRODUCTION

FOCUS AREA
Please confirm the primary focus area of your proposed idea:

  • Environmental Health
  • Essential Surgery
  • Global Disease Challenges
  • Health Workforce
  • Women & Children’s Health

TEAM NAME (5 words)
Please provide a name for your team. Your team name should reflect a basic description of your proposed idea. Be creative – have fun!

YOUR QUICK PITCH (100 words)
Provide a brief summary description of the approach your team is offering to a solve a challenge at the heart of care. This can be a new solution, or an everyday idea applied in a new way. The description should read as a short and interesting pitch for your core concept. Focus on delivering a compelling overview, so assigned reviewers want to read more. Your Quick Pitch, along with other portions of your application, may be extracted and revealed to the public. Therefore, your description should not require any other context to clearly explain what you are offering. Imagine, if you had 1 minute in the elevator with our Evaluation Panel, what would you say? This is your first impression, so make every word count!

B. YOUR TEAM

The following information is required to capture a basic understanding of the leadership, structure, vision, and capabilities of your team.

Teams may be comprised of multiple organizations. While government agencies cannot register or apply, individuals affiliated with government agencies can be recognized as part of a team, so long as no governmental resources are used to develop the submission. Government agencies may also support teams in a consulting capacity. For example, a team’s idea may require compliance with regulatory or legal provisions in target communities; understanding or complying with those requirements may spark a close working relationship with one or more government agencies. Therefore, while grant funds may not be provided to any government agency, as part of this competition, you may indicate where one or more government agencies play a key role on your team.

NAME OF LEAD APPLICATION ORGANZATION (50 words)
Each team must identify a lead applicant organization. If your team is designated as eligible to receive funding, the lead applicant organization is responsible for entering into a grant agreement with ImpactAssets, the organization administering any prize money on behalf of the competition. Your team’s lead applicant organization may be nonprofit or for profit. The lead applicant organization is solely responsible for the distribution of funds to other team members as ImpactAssets enters into only one grant agreement for each team.

Please provide the legal name of your lead applicant organization. 

LEGAL STATUS OF LEAD APPLICANT ORGANIZATION
Please select one of the following options to indicate the legal status of your lead applicant organization. Remember government agencies may not apply.

  • Nonprofit organization
  • Business or for profit entity
  • Other (e.g., quasi-nongovernmental organization)

DEVELOPMENT PHASE OF LEAD APPLICANT ORGANIZATION
The 2017 Social Innovation Competition seeks ideas that have received less than $250,000 in funding or have been in development for 5 years or less. Please select the description that best describes your organization.

  • EARLY PHASE: Your organization is less than five years’ old and/or has received less than $250,000 USD in funding and is submitting its novel model for consideration.
  • ESTABLISHED: Your organization is established, but is submitting a novel program or project for consideration that is less than five years’ old and/or has received less than $250,000 USD in funding.
  • MULTI-PARTNERSHIP: Your team is submitting an idea for consideration as part of a novel multi-partnership of established organizations, but the partnership is under five years’ old and/or has received less than $250,000 USD in funding.

ADDRESS OF LEAD APPLICANT ORGANIZATION
The lead applicant organization is responsible for the day to day operations of the team. Therefore, the address of the lead applicant organization is known as the official “headquarters” for all coordinated team activity. Below, please provide the mailing address of the lead applicant organization. This information may be used to communicate with the team, and it may be published to reveal the geographic location for team operations (which may be different than the geographic location where your team chooses to implement your proposed solution).

LETTER OF INTENT 
Please upload a letter of intent, which recognizes the lead applicant organization and stipulates the relationship between the other parties. Make sure to include all necessary parts by referring to the following guidelines for drafting your Letter of Intent. Be sure to include all team members who are critical to the implementation of your proposed solution.

YOUR POINT OF CONTACT
Each team must identify a specific Point of Contact or team leader. The team leader takes responsibility for completing the application and assumes final accountability for the content of your team’s submission. The team leader may delegate responsibilities to others, but each team leader will act as the primary Point of Contact with Johnson & Johnson and must coordinate responses to any questions and/or have a working knowledge of all decisions made by the team.

Please provide the name and title of your team leader for communicating purposes below. If your team does not use formal titles, then a Point of Contact may simply indicate “team leader” and you can later describe how that role relates to other partners or members.

CONTACT INFORMATION
Please provide a phone number, email address, and a mailing address for your designated Point of Contact. The information will not be used for any purpose other than direct communication about your team’s application. Please only provide information that allows us to contact the team leader directly.

TEAM ORGANIZATION (250 words)
Each team member must fulfill a specific purpose in developing your proposed solution. Therefore, the team must represent a structured collaborative with both legal and governing control over the implementation and/or operation of the proposed solution. Please list and explain the relationship between your team members in the text box below. Name each organizational and/or member and label each designated role.

TEAM MANAGEMENT (200 words)
Please name up to three of the managing team members or decision makers, including their specific titles within their affiliated organizations. Provide a short biographical statement for those three team members; focus on their experience most relevant to your proposed solution and include a description of their role on your team to oversee implementation of your solution.

FRONT LINE TEAM MEMBER (200 words)
We believe that the best solutions include those on the front lines of care in both design and implementation. It is mandatory that your GenH Challenge team includes one or more members who meet the definition of a person working on the front lines of care. Please name each individual team member who meets that definition and their role on the team. Describe here how their specific experience and qualifications have informed your team’s plans. Focus on those team member’s expert understanding of local conditions, and any specific field experience and insights, which your team would have lacked without their participation.

C. YOUR SOLUTION

Now here’s the moment you’ve been waiting for – tell us about your exciting idea! Here’s your opportunity to provide the details of your proposed approach to a great health challenge on the front lines of health. Be sure to emphasize how your proposed solution aligns with the four core traits of the GenH Challenge that will be used to assess each valid application (see Trait Scoring Rubric).

Each solution must demonstrate a clear understanding of the problem currently holding back progress to support Generation Healthy and how your approach unlocks the solution. To achieve a deeper understanding of your idea, convince those reviewing your application that you understand the greater context and the local realities of the problem you hope to solve. Describe the circumstance that led to the problem and set the stage for why your approach offers meaningful and measurable change.

THE BIG CHALLENGE (150 words)
Please provide a broad description of the specific health problem that you are committed to solving through your team’s idea. Offer an explanation of the current resources available to address the problem. Focus on why those resources are insufficient to supporting those on the front lines of care in one or more aspects of a solution. Explain any previous attempts to solve the problem, if there were any, and why your big challenge persists within the local environment.

LOCAL CONDITIONS (150 words)
Build on your description of the big challenge and offer a complementary description of the local community or communities where you plan to implement your approach. Show that you understand the specific intricacies that you must overcome. Explain your understanding of the necessary operations or tactics critical to overcoming any local implementation challenges. Share how your approach addresses the local interests of your target beneficiaries.

GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS
While we know that health and healthcare does not always fit neatly within one district and/or country, we ask that you select up to three countries in which you have chosen to implement your proposed solution. If your geographic reach extends beyond three countries, please select those locations where the initial implementation of your proposed idea is best represented. Submissions can also focus on only one geographic region.

Please indicate the primary environment(s) for the intervention by selecting from the following options (check all that apply):

  • Urban
  • Peri-Urban
  • Rural

YOUR TACTICS & TECHNOLOGY (250 words)
Now, let’s get in to some details. We know WHAT you are offering from your Quick Pitch and elsewhere, and now you get to impress us with your expertise and the specific details of your technical and operational approach. While many teams will rely on products and technologies to implement their solution, we are looking for solutions which emphasize the human aspects of delivery – explain how people (particularly those working at the heart of care) are critical to your success. How will your partnership with those on the front lines of care create circumstances for your team to achieve optimal results? Be specific, get creative. Impress the judges with your knowledge of what’s required to achieve success while offering insight into the technical aspects of your solution – what makes your approach different and better? Why does your approach matter where it counts?

D. YOUR PROJECT PLAN

In chronological order, identify the milestones on your way to implementation, including the timing of when your team will reach those milestones. Although we are offering three different levels of possible cash awards, explain how your solution can be implemented assuming an award of $250,000. If your organization is named as a Finalist, then you will be asked to create additional project plans to reflect the three levels of cash awards: $250,000, $100,000, and $50,000.

$250,000 AWARD (150 words)
Describe the milestones and timeline needed if your team received a cash award of $250,000.

RISK MANAGEMENT & MITIGATION (150 words)
Please describe any threats to your proposed solution and how you plan to address them. While every project plan is different, we expect teams to raise the most important assumptions of risk across the three categories of potential funding and how you will manage them.

E. RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS

The information provided in the previous sections is intended to reveal team leadership, and strategic and practical plans; we also need to understand the financial feasibility of your solution. Although we are offering three different levels of possible cash awards, provide a narrative budget description and supporting information to explain your resource requirements for a project of $250,000. If your organization is named as a Finalist, then you will be asked to create budgets to reflect the three levels of cash awards: $250,000, $100,000, and $50,000.

BUDGET NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION (150 words)
Please offer a general overview for how you would use the grant award, if you were to receive a cash award of $250,000. This Budget Narrative should complement your project plan.

If you do not have any need for additional capital, please enter “NONE.”

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS (150 words)
The implementation of your solution may require other resources or partnerships, and below, please explain them. Here, you can offer any contingency planning, based on specific issues raised in the risk or budget sections of your proposal. This is your opportunity to describe outstanding issues that you could not offer in other sections.

Peer to Peer

During Peer-to-Peer Review, each team lead will score and comment upon five applications from other teams, using four criteria included in the trait scoring rubric: human-centered, impactful, creative, and feasible. This is the same trait scoring rubric that the Evaluation Panel will use.

Scores will be calculated using a normalization algorithm that ensures a level playing field for everyone. In addition to scoring each submission on the four criteria found in the trait scoring rubric, you will also review the question responses and provide a final Grade Score, ranging between 0-100, that provides an overall assessment of quality for the entire submission. We ask that you carefully review the submissions assigned to you and provide meaningful feedback.

The Peer-to-Peer Review will result in a rank-order of all valid submissions. The top 75 of these submissions will then be reviewed by the Evaluation Panel.

Scoring Process

A Level Playing Field

Once a valid application has been submitted, a minimum of five Evaluation Panel members will be assigned to score each submission. Those judges will offer both scores and comments against each of four distinct traits. Each trait will be scored on a 0-5 point scale, in increments of 0.1. Those scores will combine to produce a total normalized score. Examples of possible scores for a trait are: 1.4, 3.7, etc.

The most straightforward way to ensure that everyone is treated by the same set of standards would be to have the same judges score every application; unfortunately, due to the number of applications that we may receive, that is not possible. 

Since the same judges will not score every application, the question of fairness needs to be explained carefully. One judge scoring an application may take a more critical view, giving any assigned candidate a range of scores only between 1.0 and 2.0, as an example; meanwhile, another judge may be more generous and want to score every submission between 4.0 and 5.0.

For illustrative purposes, let’s look at the scores from two hypothetical judges:

The first judge is far more generous, as a scorer, than the second judge, who gives much lower scores. If your application was rated by the first judge, it would earn a much higher total score than if it was assigned to the second judge.

We have a way to address this issue. We work to ensure that no matter which judges are assigned to you, each application will be treated fairly. To do this, we utilize a mathematical technique relying on two measures of distribution, the mean and the standard deviation.

The mean takes all the scores assigned by a judge, adds them up, and divides them by the number of scores assigned, giving an average score.

Formally, we denote the mean like this:

The standard deviation measures the “spread” of a judge’s scores. As an example, imagine that two judges both give the same mean (average) score, but one gives many zeros and fives, while the other gives more ones and fours. It wouldn't be fair, if we didn’t consider this difference.

Formally, we denote the standard deviation like this:

To ensure that the judging process is fair, we rescale all the scores to match the judging population. In order to do this, we measure the mean and the standard deviation of all scores across all judges. Then, we change the mean score and the standard deviation of each judge to match.

We rescale the standard deviation like this:

Then, we rescale mean like this:

Basically, we are finding the difference between both distributions for a single judge and those for all of the judges combined, then adjusting each score so that no one is treated unfairly according to which judges they are assigned.

If we apply this rescaling process to the same two judges in the example above, we can see the outcome of the final resolved and normalized scores. They appear more similar, because they are now aligned with typical distributions across the total judging population.

We are pleased to answer any questions you have about the scoring process. You are able to ask questions related to the scoring process on the discussion forums once you register and begin developing your application.

Awards

We believe that alternative funding models can ignite new ideas that support and champion those on the front lines of care, ultimately developing breakthrough solutions to address enduring health challenges. Our prize-based funding model is designed to help deliver the positive effects of an open call for ideas and transparent decision-making in solving for health challenges endemic on the front lines of care.

After the submission and judging process, Finalists will be invited to pitch their ideas to a Selection Committee consisting of Johnson & Johnson team members and global experts in health and innovation. Ultimately, 6 teams will win up to $250,000 from a $1 million prize purse—$600,000 in cash prizes and $400,000 in non-financial rewards such as capacity-building and engagement with experts in the Johnson & Johnson network.

The three levels of cash awards include:

  • 1 winner-$250,000
  • 1 winner-$150,000
  • 4 winners-$50,000

All Finalist teams will be invited to attend a free, one-week, skills-based workshop hosted by Johnson & Johnson to build capacity among Finalist team members.

To be eligible to apply, your idea must have received under $250,000 funding or been in development for 5 years or under. For example:

  • Your organization is less than 5 years old and/or has under $250,000 funding, submitting its novel model for consideration in the GenH Challenge.
  • Your organization is older than 5 years and/or has a budget over $250,000, but submits a novel program or project for consideration that is less than 5 years old and/or has under $250,000 in funding.
  • Your organization is older than 5 years and/or has a budget over $250,000, but you submit an idea for consideration as part of a novel multi-organization partnership that is under 5 years old and/or has less than $250,000 in funding.

All valid submissions will participate in a Peer-to-Peer Review process designed not only to surface the most promising ideas, but also to build community and share the exciting, innovative work emerging from the front lines of care. An Evaluation Panel of esteemed judges will score and comment upon the top 75 applications, using four criteria: human-centered, impactful, creative, and feasible.

No such Content can be copied, publicly displayed, modified, sold, licensed or distributed in any way by You without RAMPIT's prior written consent. You shall not use the name “Johnson & Johnson” or any variation, adaptation, or abbreviation thereof, or the name of any Johnson & Johnson Board members, officers, employees, or agents, or any trademark owned by Johnson & Johnson, in any promotional material or other public announcement or disclosure, nor copied, publicly displayed, modified, sold, licensed or distributed in any way by You without the prior written consent of Johnson & Johnson, which consent Johnson & Johnson may withhold in its sole discretion.

15. Arbitration

15.1  In the interest of resolving disputes between You and RAMPIT or COMPETITION SPONSOR in the most expedient and cost effective manner, You and RAMPIT or COMPETITION SPONSOR agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, You and RAMPIT or COMPETITION SPONSOR are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

15.2  You and RAMPIT or COMPETITION SPONSOR each agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit any rights to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

15.3  Any arbitration between You and RAMPIT or COMPETITION SPONSOR will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

15.4  A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for You, by electronic mail ("Notice"). RAMPIT's address for Notice is: RAMPIT, LLC, 805 2nd Avenue South, #3, Nashville, TN 37210 or support@rampit.com. The COMPETITION SPONSOR’s address is Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., ATTN:  Alice Lin Fabiano, Director, Global Community Impact, 1 One Johnson & Johnson Plaza, New Brunswick, NJ  08933, with a copy to the Law Department. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and, (b) set forth the specific relief sought. We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 calendar days after the Notice is received, You may commence arbitration proceedings.

15.5  Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon by the parties to the arbitration or, if a location cannot be agreed upon, then it will be agreed upon by the arbitrator(s), provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 calendar days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

15.6  YOU AND RAMPIT OR COMPETITION SPONSOR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both You and RAMPIT or COMPETITION SPONSOR agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

15.7  If only Clause 16.6 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 18 shall govern any action arising out of or related to the Agreement. 

16. Digital Millennium Copyright Act

16.1  If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any Content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing RAMPIT's copyright agent (the "Copyright Agent") with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail). 

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

16.2  RAMPIT's designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is Copyright Agent, RAMPIT, LLC, 805 2nd Avenue South, #3, Nashville, TN 37210, email: support@rampit.com. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section 17, your DMCA notice may not be valid.

16.3  If you believe that your Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your Content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature;
  2. Identification of the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the Content; and
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Nashville, Tennessee, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

16.4  If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, RAMPIT may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, member or user, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at RAMPIT's sole discretion.

17. Miscellaneous

17.1  As defined in Clause 1.1, this Agreement is the entire agreement between You and RAMPIT relating to the subject matter herein, and supersedes all previous communications, representations, understandings and agreements, either oral or written, between You and RAMPIT with respect to said subject matter. This Agreement shall not be modified except in a writing signed by both parties, or by a change made as provided in Clause 2.2. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which is severable from said provision and will remain in full force and effect.

17.2  If You breach any provision of this Agreement and RAMPIT has knowledge (either actual or constructive) of that breach, a failure to pursue legal action or to enforce any remedy against You will not constitute a waiver of its legal rights. Any waiver of rights under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by RAMPIT.

17.3  All matters relating to this Website and this Agreement are governed by and are to be construed according to the laws applicable in the state of Tennessee, United States (without regard to any rules governing choice of law).

You must not assign, novate or otherwise transfer Your rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of RAMPIT. Any assignment attempted in violation of this Clause 18.4 shall be void.

17.5  The parties agree that no rule of construction applies to the disadvantage of a party because that party was responsible for the preparation of this Agreement or part of it.

17.6  Unless otherwise requested in writing by You, RAMPIT may refer to You and Your corporate identity (if applicable) as part of promoting this Website and RAMPIT in the marketplace.

17.7  RAMPIT accepts content uploaded from Users in good faith and on the basis of warranties provided by Users. It is Your responsibility at all times to investigate and become satisfied as to the accuracy of the information provided by any other party (including all Users) on this Website.

17.10  In the interpretation of this Agreement, unless the contrary intention appears:

  1. the words 'includes' or 'including' mean 'includes without limitation' or 'including without limitation';
  2. a reference to a 'person' or 'entity' includes a reference to an individual, group of individuals, corporation, firm, association or other entity;
  3. the singular includes the plural and vice versa;
  4. an agreement, representation or warranty made by two or more persons is made by them jointly and by each of them severally; and headings are inserted for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

This information is collected directly by the third party, and RAMPIT does not participate in that data transmission. Information collected by third parties in this manner is subject to that third party's own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.
  1. Information from Other Sources: We may also obtain information, including personally identifiable information, from third parties and sources other than this Website, such as other Users who import your email address. We may also receive information from third party services that provide a mechanism to expose information you have provided to such third party through the use of an application program interface (API), such as Facebook Connect and the Google API.

Sample Provisions for Grant Agreement with a Winner

Any Winner of the Gen H Challenge will enter into a grant agreement with the Johnson & Johnson designee, ImpactAssets, a donor advised fund.

Grant funds will be used as described in the Winner’s application (proposal) to the Gen H Challenge: 2017 Social Venture Competition.

The following provisions will apply to any Winner entering into a grant agreement:

1. Purpose 

Under United States law, ImpactAssets (IA) grant funds, and income earned on those funds, may be spent only for charitable, religious, scientific, literary or educational purposes.  This grant is made only for the purposes stated herein, and it is agreed that these grant funds will be used only for such purposes substantially in accordance with the budget submitted with your proposal.  It is also understood that no substantial changes will be made from the approved budget without IA's prior approval in writing.

2. Separate Fund

All IA grant funds received by your organization must be maintained in a separate fund dedicated to the charitable purposes described in this letter.  Such a separate fund may be either: 1) a physically separate bank account restricted to the described charitable purposes; or, 2) a separate bookkeeping account (limited to the described charitable purposes) maintained as part of your financial records.   IA encourages, whenever feasible, the deposit of grant funds in an interest‑bearing account.

3. Reporting 

A written report signed by an appropriate officer of your organization must be furnished to IA within three (3) months after the close of each calendar year in which your organization receives or spends any portion of IA grant funds (including income, if any, from such funds) until the grant funds are spent in full or the grant is otherwise terminated.  The report for each year is due no later than March 31.  In addition, within three (3) months following the final calendar year‑end of the grant term, a final written report is to be furnished to IA.

Each written report, including the final written report, must contain two parts: a narrative account and a financial account of what was accomplished by the expenditure of the grant funds during the period covered by the report. 

  1. Narrative Account: The narrative account should provide a detailed description of what was accomplished by the grant, including a description of the progress made toward achieving the goals of the grant and an assurance that the activities under the grant have been conducted in conformity with the terms of the grant.

Guidelines for Executing A Letter of Intent (LOI)

GUIDELINES FOR EXECUTING A LETTER OF INTENT (LOI) 

Under the RULES of the Gen H Challenge: 2017 Social Venture Competition, eligible organizations only include legal entities organized under applicable law. To the extent two or more organizations seek to collaborate with respect to a proposal, a single entity must have definitive responsibility for supervision of the charitable project, control over the use of the grant funds, and responsibility for reporting on the use of the grant funds.

Any organizations seeking to collaborate on a project must execute a letter of Intent (LOI) that defines and controls the relationships among the parties. The LOI must be includes as part of any valid application. Johnson & Johnson and any designees may review the LOI, to determine if it satisfactorily addresses these key points:

  • One eligible entity has supervision of the proposed project and control over the use of any grant funds and is responsible for providing any required reports to any Johnson & Johnson designees.
  • There are clear terms regarding how key decisions will be made and how they will be bind other parties to the LOI, including termination of the LOI or the project, any financing, and other key financial and governance terms.
  • The ownership and use of intellectual property is clearly spelled out and will not result in more than incidental benefit to any private interests.
  • The persons and/or entities authorized to speak, act and execute agreements on behalf of the collaboration are clearly described.
  • There are provisions clearly addressing the treatment and use of any revenue expected to be generated by the project (if applicable) and no private interests will benefit from the revenue stream other than on a basis that is incidental to the primary charitable purpose to be served by the project. 
  • The LOI will be in effect for the duration of the project.

Private Benefit Policy

PRIVATE BENEFIT POLICY

Any Winner who may receive an Award is required to enter into a grant agreement (see Sample Provisions for Grant Agreement with a Winner). Any Winner is subject to a myriad of rules that govern grant making for charitable purposes and other activities under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, state law, and other applicable law(s). Those grant awards must serve a clear tax exempt purpose and benefit directly or indirectly a sufficiently large or indefinite group. 

Because we invite both for profit and nonprofit applicants, we are taking time to address a key provision, our Private Benefit Policy. The following is a general description of how our Private Benefit Policy aligns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, state law, and other applicable law(s) and does not constitute legal advice to any applicant. Applicants should consult with their own legal counsel regarding these requirements.

Private Benefit 

The U.S. Internal Revenue Code expressly prohibits the use of an organization’s assets or earnings in a manner that would give rise to “private inurement” to any insider of the organization. A derivative of the private inurement doctrine is the private benefit doctrine. 

The private benefit doctrine requires that any private benefit arising from charitable activities be “incidental” compared to the public benefit from such activities. Any private benefit must be both qualitatively and quantitatively incidental to the public benefits to be achieved.  

A private benefit is qualitatively incidental if it is “a necessary concomitant of the activity which benefits the public” in the sense that the “benefit to the public cannot be achieved without necessarily benefiting certain private individuals. The U.S. Internal Revenue Services (IRS) has determined that benefits are qualitatively incidental to the public benefit where it would be impossible for an organization to accomplish its exempt purposes without providing the private benefits. PLR 9615030; GCM 37789.

Private benefit will be quantitatively incidental if it is insubstantial when compared with the public benefit conferred. PLR 201114036; PLR 9615030; GCM 39862. An acceptable amount of the private benefit will vary in each case “in direct relation to the degree of public benefit derived” GCM 39612; GCM 38459; GCM 38827. To the extent that there is more private benefit, it must be outweighed by more substantial public benefit.

Intellectual Property Policy

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POLICY

By entering the Gen H Challenge, 2017 Social Ventures Competition, and submitting a valid application, you have agreed to comply with Section 6.3 of the Terms & Conditions:

Competitors permit RAMPIT, the Competition Sponsor, and/or any entity designated by the Competition Sponsor, to publish any Entry, Entry Content, or Content to other Competitors, Judges or other designees, as necessary, to promote greater transparency, collaboration, and follow-on investment for Competitors during and after the Competition.  For further information regarding the sharing of Entries, Entry Content, and Content, please refer to the Intellectual Property Policy.

The Intellectual Property Policy ensures that use of your Entry furthers our charitable purpose and benefits the public. To that end, we may seek broad dissemination or availability of any Entry content. 

Ownership of intellectual property rights (including copyright and patent rights) should not be used to limit or deny access to any Entry, to result in exclusive use of such Entry, or to create revenue that is not used substantially for charitable purposes. The recipients of the Entry named under Section 6.3 (“RAMPIT, the Competition Sponsor, and/or any entity designated by the Competition Sponsor,” hereafter the “Parties”) will be provided a no-cost assignable license to use or publish any Entry consistent with this Policy. The Parties may forego or limit the requirement of a license if the Parties are reasonably satisfied that other appropriate arrangements will be implemented that will assure the goals of this Policy.

Cookie Policy

Welcome

Welcome to www.genhchallenge.com which is owned by Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc. This Cookie Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding the collection of information from you when visiting our website through Cookies and other tracking technologies.

Overview of Cookie Consent Rules

EU law requires organisations placing cookies through websites onto visitors' computers to obtain their "consent" after providing clear and comprehensive information about how cookies are used on the websites.

In order to comply with this, we have taken four steps:

  1. (i) Identified cookies and other tracking technologies served through this website, the purposes they fulfill, and related information such as their expiry and whether they are first or third party cookies.
  2. (ii) Assessed the intrusiveness of these cookies on visitors' expectations of Privacy, based on the information collected in (i) above.
  3. (iii) Provided 'clear and comprehensive' information about website cookies with the appropriate level of disclosure corresponding with the intrusiveness of each cookie (See Cookie Settings Panel).
  4. (iv) Used an appropriate strategy for obtaining consent for website cookies, taking into account their use and intrusiveness. Certain types of cookie may qualify for legal exemptions and, where this is the case, consent will not be required for these cookies.

Consent Strategies Used on This Website

European standards for obtaining consent to use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as tracking pixels and website scripts) ("cookies") continue to evolve and while prior, express consent strategies (or 'opt-in' strategies) represent the most legally robust solution for obtaining consent, they can impair visitor experience and adversely impact legitimate website data collection.

As an alternative, implied consent strategies enable us to infer consent where visitors do not refuse cookies (or 'opt-out'), after providing prominent cookie disclosures and simple, readily-available cookie controls at a granular level (Consult the Cookie Settings Panel). This enables visitors to accept or refuse cookies used on the website.

The appropriate consent strategy will depend on the intrusiveness of the cookie, taking into account:

  • who serves the cookie (i.e. a first or third party)
  • what data the cookie collects
  • what purposes it fulfils
  • how long it endures
  • nature of the website through which it is served.

For cookies requiring consent, we follow a three-tiered approach:

  • for cookies of low intrusiveness: we make enhanced disclosures in the Cookie Policy and provide an easy means to opt out of cookies, and infer visitors' consent where they do not refuse cookies
  • for cookies of medium intrusiveness: we use the same strategy as for low intrusiveness cookies and also make contextual disclosures about cookie use at appropriate points on the websites (e.g. making cookie disclosures around targeted adverts or other website functionality relies on these cookies)
  • for cookies of high intrusiveness: we implement a prior consent strategy (for example, the use of a banner / pop-up requiring visitors to consent to these cookies before they are served).

Implied consent for most Cookies: Cookies deployed through this websites are of low to medium intrusiveness only.

Cookie disclosures by type, rather than by identity: Given the substantial number of Cookies served through websites, cookies are grouped by category (for example, 'advertising cookies', 'analytics cookies'). This enables cookie disclosures that are simpler and clearer for consumers to understand.

NOTE: An assessment of the cookie types served through this website appears in Annex A and provides information about its purpose(s), expiry and information on refusing the Cookies in "How to Block."

Front Lines of Care

Our Commitment to People on the Front Lines of Care

People on the front lines of care are the heart of what makes health possible in local communities. The midwife, the nurse, the social worker, the parent – all foster a community that makes good health and wellness possible from New Delhi to Nairobi to New York. effective, global community health.

They are often based in and come from the community they serve, and play a critical role in providing a local context for proven health solutions.

Those on the front lines provide services where they are most needed, connecting families and communities at the heart of care. Families rely on these caregivers as trusted sources of information who have valuable skills in preventing, treating and managing a variety of health conditions. Many are formal and informal caregivers, which may include midwives, pharmacists, nurses and doctors who serve in community clinics. Many people on the front lines of health may even work outside of health! From infrastructure and transportation to energy and sanitation, the front lines of health are strengthened by their diversity and intersection to sectors beyond health around the world – in and out of the formal health care industry – whose actions help create a healthier future for their communities.

We believe that the best ideas for the healthiest generation come from those on the front lines of care, and that their perspective is necessary in informing design and implementation of new approaches for health. It is required that your GenH Challenge team includes one or more members who meet the definition above.
