Positive Contribution

We're glad you're joining us as a team for iGEM 2019! There are several items necessary to complete your team application for iGEM 2019 which you can find described below. It is important to read through this page before beginning your team application to understand the requirements to completing the application.

Remember, every member of the team must have an iGEM.org user account. The team’s Principal Investigator (PI) will need one in order to complete the team application. Visit the Registration Handbook to learn more about user accounts. Once the team PI has a user account, he/she will be able to log in and access the 2019 team application.

APPLY NOW!

Information Required to Apply for a Team

1. Team PI Information

The first component of the team application is the PI information and PI Agreement. The team PI will need to verify contact information. If your contact information is incorrect, you will have the opportunity to update it before proceeding with the application.

The PI Agreement contains information about the responsibilities of the team PI so he/she can plan accordingly and properly support the team.

2. Team Name

The next component of a team application is the team name. The team name should include the name of the school represented on the team, or the city/country in which the school is located. A team name must also follow these rules:

  • be 20 or fewer characters (including letters, and underscore/hyphen)
  • only contain letters A-Z, and a-z

3. Team Kind

In iGEM 2019, teams will register as one of three team "kinds", and each kind will have different registration requirements. The three team kinds are:

  • Collegiate:
    Teams consist primarily of collegiate students. You may also have postgraduate students and/or high school students on the team.

  • High School:
    Teams consist of only high school students and students who will graduate high school in 2019. High School teams compete with other High School teams in the High School Track and Section. Please visit the High School Consent Form page for information about and access to the consent forms.

  • Community Lab:
    Teams consist of members of a community lab. This can include anyone. Community Lab teams compete with Collegiate teams in the Traditional and Special Tracks and in the Undergraduate and Overgraduate Sections based on the team members' ages.
    Each community lab team must complete the following additional requirements and send the applicable documentation to documents AT igem DOT org:
    1. demonstrate access to a BL 1 lab
    2. demonstrate an adequate safety training program
    3. must be an incorporated entity (for profit or not-for-profit)
    4. must have a legal entity which has the ability to sign contracts

4. Team Information: Affiliation & Location

The team PI is asked for team’s school affiliation and geographic location on the team application. This helps iGEM HQ track team development, and other individuals, including potential team members, find teams near them. Please include the following:

  • School name
  • City, state, country (area or economy)
  • School URL

If more than one school is represented on the team, please list every school.

Below the school field, please select the country (area or economy) that your school belongs to, as well as the region.

5. Shipping Information

Your team’s shipping information will be needed in order to send you materials during the iGEM 2019 competition season, such as the DNA distribution kit and part requests.
The shipping information is found on your Team Information page, accessible after the team application is submitted.

6. Consent Forms (High School teams only)

Every High School team must complete and submit consent forms as part of their team application. iGEM Headquarters must receive these specific forms before we can approve a team:

  • Principal consent form for every school represented on the team
  • Participant consent form from the primary PI of the team
  • Department head consent form (if the team is working at a laboratory outside of their high school)

Visit the High School Consent Forms page to access the forms.

7. Team Fee Payment

Each team pays a team fee, which provides the team with a team wiki, associated materials (including the 2019 Distribution Kit) and support, one presentation slot at the Giant Jamboree, and one poster location at the Giant Jamboree.

Team fees for iGEM 2019 are:

  • Regular registration: $5000 USD
  • Late registration: $5500 USD (until April 30)
  • Late registration: $6000 USD (until May 31)
