The Epilepsy Foundation has announced its seventh annual epilepsy "Shark Tank" competition for the most innovative ideas in epilepsy and seizure treatment and care. Some examples of novel ideas include a system to detect seizures with the capacity to provide early warning to the patient or family; a treatment that stops a seizure from progressing; a system that helps patients manage their daily treatment; a device that prevents physical injury that patients may experience when in seizure; or an entirely new product concept with the promise to dramatically improve the lives of people with epilepsy. Selected finalists will receive international recognition and compete for grants totaling $150,000 to support the development and commercialization of important new products, technologies, or therapeutic concepts. As many as six finalists will be selected to present at the 2018 Epilepsy Pipeline Conference (San Francisco, February 22-23, 2018). Each presenter will have five minutes to present the concept, followed by five minutes of questioning. The Shark Tank event will feature live voting among audience members and a panel of judges (Sharks) representative of industry, advocacy, investors, and the research and medical communities. The winning project, or projects, deemed to be the most innovative will be announced at the conclusion of the competition. To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate an ability to move the proposed plan to completion, showing how the prize can accelerate any step along the path to market. Inventors who submitted ideas for previous Shark Tank competitions are encouraged to re-submit their ideas if substantial progress has been made.

Neonatal nursing has many faces-Its dedicated nursing professionals in the NICU, in transport, in home care, in academic settings, within local communities, up on Capitol Hill, and around the globe. There are faces of neonates from days old to years old, growing and prospering, and there are also faces of mothers, fathers, grandparents, and siblings. Join NANN in celebrating neonatal nursing by participating in the 2013 Faces of Neonatal Nursing photo contest. Submit a photo and an accompanying caption conveying an aspect of neonatal nursing. Your photo could make the cover of Advances in Neonatal Care, and you could win a complimentary registration to NANN's 2014 Annual Educational Conference in Phoenix! Photo submissions and narratives will be displayed on the NANN website, where the winning photo will be determined via online ballot.
