Want to collaborate on a proposal for the D3 Innovation Challenge to improve the way DOD measures body composition?

2015-09-29T07:08:15-04:00

I am working on a proposal for the D3 Innovation Challenge. My proposal involves using technology to measure body composition (versus the BMI-based processes currently used by the Services).

The D3 Innovation Challenge proposal instructions suggest that proposals that involve inter-DOD or InterAgency collaboration will be looked at favorably. Thus, as I'm an Army Officer, ideal collaborators would be non-Army.

Thus, does anyone want to join my proposal? If so, I will share the proposal; it is already written and ready for submission. I, of course, would entertain suggestions and improvements, and your name and info would be included on the proposal.

Proposals are due on 5 October; if you want to collaborate, please respond by 1 October.

Here's the link to the D3 Innovation Challenge, if anyone wants to submit a proposal on their own.

I am very interested. Doesn't give you multi-service, but at least multi-compo! in the global.

MAJ Private RallyPoint Member this is something I've actually been looking into as well. I would love to be a part of it if it isn't too late!

Great, thanks for the responses!

For ease of use, I'm going to attempt to coordinate this collaboration via our official / personal email accounts, using Microsoft Word in the track changes mode. I considered using AKO or Google or other online collaboration tools, but discounted them as they all require account establishment, passwords, etc, and that is just a pain.

My email is [login to see] . I found some of you in the global, but if Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS and SMSgt Private RallyPoint Member could email me at my mail.mil or message me here (I couldn't find either of you on the global), I'll add you to the list.
