CAMBRIDGE On October 14, the Mo Ibrahim Prize Committee announced that for the second year in a row it had not found anyone to whom to award its Prize for Achievement in African Leadership. Why is that important?

After the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Obama administration teamed up with the X Prize Foundation to offer a 1.4 million prize to the group that produced the most efficient oil recovery solution. The winning approach, from Elastec American Marine, was three times as efficient as the industry s previous best rate.

The X Prize Foundation once promoted this idea, but dropped it when a funder lost interest. But there are many smaller scale examples, such as Oklahoma City, which lost one million pounds of collective weight in a population of about 600,000 we hope the people involved will join with HICCup to share their experiences, good and bad.

The Prize Fund for HIV AIDS Act, a congressional bill introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders, is just such an initiative. His bill also contains an important provision aimed at encouraging open source research, which would move the current research model away from secrecy toward sharing.
