Propose a problem

What is being overlooked?

Communities, researchers and young people often see important problems institutions miss. Bring us the problem—not a polished project pitch.

What we consider

We look for important, under-addressed and measurable problems that may be appropriate for research, technology, data or partnership intervention.

  • Public value
  • Overlooked need
  • Evidence possibility
  • Feasibility
  • Youth contribution
  • Partner potential
  • Measurability
  • Ethical and safeguarding fit
  • Scalability or replicability

Information is used to evaluate and respond to your inquiry. Preparing the inquiry opens your email app; this website does not store the form.

Submitting a problem does not guarantee SEED SURE will adopt it. Submissions are reviewed privately and are not automatically published.

How we say no

Discipline protects the mission.

A potentially useful idea may still be wrong for SEED SURE at the current time.

  • Outside the mission
  • Harm cannot be appropriately managed
  • Evidence cannot reasonably be collected
  • Mainly benefits a private interest
  • Resources are insufficient
  • Appropriate expertise is unavailable
  • Ethical or safeguarding concerns exist
