3-D ROC Resources

Partnerships and Support

NEI is building an ecosystem of support by partnering with companies and organizations to offer their resources directly to 3-D ROC challenge solvers.

During the 3-D ROC prize competition, resources for Solvers may be available by companies and organizations who have partnered with NEI to support the challenge. Partners will provide resources directly to Solvers upon request on an equitable basis. Resources may include: in-kind contributions (loaning of technology, early access to products, free consulting opportunity), discounts on products, services, or reagents, or in-kind or discounted consulting, among other resources.

For a list of current partners and information on how to obtain resources, please see the 3-D ROC Company Sponsors page.
