As part of the Map of Life Rapid Assessments team led by Yale University, the researchers placed second in a global competition, according to an announcement by the XPRIZE Foundation. The nonprofit organization, which designs and manages public competitions to encourage technological developments, awarded the team $2 million out of a $10 million purse for its accomplishments.
