While we continue that practice today, we also recognize that NASA\u2019s work in space and aeronautics continues to be of great interest to the worldwide public and that good ideas can come from anywhere. NASA\u2019s prizes, challenges, and crowdsourcing opportunities are one way for the agency to engage the public\u2019s interest and ingenuity, making space exploration and other avenues of NASA research an endeavor of and by people everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opportunities within the Prizes, Challenges, and Crowdsourcing program are distributed through Centennial Challenges and the Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation (CoECI). The program also helps to promote other agency-wide opportunities to foster a community of \u201csolvers\u201d supporting NASA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Become a NASA Solver!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vXeR8fA-n2M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does NASA define a prize competition?<\/strong> According to NASA Policy Directive 1090.1, prize competitions competitively award prizes to stimulate innovation in a manner that has the potential to advance the mission of NASA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does NASA define a challenge activity?<\/strong> According to NASA Policy Directive 1090.1, challenges use a focused problem-statement approach to obtain solutions and\/or stimulate innovation from a broad, sometimes undefined, public rather than a specific, named group or individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does NASA define crowdsourcing?<\/strong> According to NASA Policy Directive 1090.1, crowdsourcing solicits products, services, ideas, or content contributions from many people, usually (but not necessarily) through the Internet and may result in the making of award(s). Crowdsourcing is different from ordinary outsourcing because a task or problem is outsourced to an undefined public rather than to a specific, named group or individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have additional questions, email us at <a href=\"mailto:hq-solve@mail.nasa.gov\">hq-solve@mail.nasa.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-card-grid padding-top-7 padding-bottom-3 padding-x-0 hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-card-grid\">\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-card-grid-header grid-container grid-container-block\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row flex-align-start margin-bottom-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desktop:grid-col-8 margin-bottom-2 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"section-heading-sm line-height-sm\">Our People<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"margin-0 padding-0\">Meet the Prizes, Challenges, and Crowdsourcing program's leadership team.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desktop:grid-col display-flex flex-align-center desktop:flex-justify-end\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row grid-gap-2\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-card-grid-cards grid-container grid-container-block\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-cards-included grid-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-card-custom hds-card color-carbon-black display-flex flex-column margin-bottom-5 mobile:grid-col-12 tablet:grid-col-6 desktop:grid-col-4 margin-bottom-6\"><div class=\"hds-card-inner\"><div class=\"hds-card-thumbnail hds-card-hover-zoom-image margin-bottom-2 bg-carbon-black\"><figure class=\"hds-media-background  \"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/amy-kaminski.jpg?w=612\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Amy Kaminski\" style=\"transform: scale(1.2);
