Application and Preliminary Rounds
Students wishing to participate have to follow slightly different procedures based on their country. All hopefuls, however, must submit an application detailing their research project in mid-November. These applications are reviewed by a panel of judges, usually experts in the field of the project, and, if accepted, the applicants are given at most $200 to fund their project. In April or May, accepted projects are invited to compete in a preliminary round to the BioGENEius international competition. Preliminary rounds have formats similar to that of the actual BioGENEius Challenge, though are generally larger in size as participation in the BioGENEius Challenge is more limited.

Famous quotes containing the words application, preliminary and/or rounds:
“By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, to-day in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be regarded as a bête noire the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“Within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and mocking at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
