The Longitude Prize launched the Longitude Prize Sprint programme in July 2020.
The Sprint programme was free and consisted of a mix of Sprint Workshops and Sprint 1:1 Expert Support and was tailored toward people and teams working in the field of AMR diagnostic test development.
We offered tailored 1:1 expert support opportunities for Longitude Prize Teams. We’re proud to have given teams access to some of the best clinical validation experts in the UK through a second phase of expert support from January 2021.
A. Who participated? Longitude Prize Teams only.
B. What did this involve? We offered selected teams expert assessment of existing validation results and future plans for clinical studies in partnership with the NIHR MedTech and In-vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC) across the UK.

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.
