Each applicant may submit only one (1) application. Sponsor(s) reserve the right to select no more than one (1) recipient per research laboratory.

Applications will be evaluated by a panel selected by Sponsor(s) based on scientific merit, originality, feasibility, relevance to the objectives of the Grant Program, the applicant’s ability to carry out the proposed research, and the suitability of the proposed project for research use only. The decision of the review panel shall be final and binding.

Sponsor(s) will attempt to notify selected applicant(s) by email within approximately ten (10) business days after selection. If a selected applicant cannot be reached within forty-eight (48) hours, the award may be forfeited and an alternate applicant may be selected.

Samples, data, or other materials must be for research purposes only and must not include any personally identifiable information, personal health information, or Protected Health Information.

The award may not be transferred or assigned. The selected applicant may be required to return an affidavit or certification of eligibility within twenty-one (21) days. All taxes and reporting obligations are the sole responsibility of the recipient.

The applicant grants Sponsor(s) a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to review, use, reproduce, and internally distribute the application solely for purposes of administering the Grant Program.

The applicant represents and warrants that: (1) the applicant meets all eligibility requirements; (2) all required institutional authorizations have been obtained; (3) participation does not violate any applicable law or policy; and (4) the application is true and correct in all material respects.

If selected, the applicant’s name, title, institution, and project title may be published on Sponsor(s)’ websites and social media. Sponsor(s) will not publish further project details or unpublished results without the recipient’s consent, except as required by law.

By accepting an award, each recipient grants Sponsor(s) the right to use the recipient’s name, title, institution, and project title in corporate, investor, scientific, and promotional materials. Any such use shall be truthful, non-misleading, and consistent with the recipient’s actual participation.

Research conducted under the Grant Program is expected to lead to scientific presentations and publications. The awarded applicant will present results in a joint forum co-hosted by the Sponsor(s). Results are expected to be presented at international conferences.

The applicant agrees to release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor(s) from all liability for any injury, loss or damage related to participation in the Grant Program. Sponsor(s) have not made any warranty, express or implied, with respect to the prize.

Sponsor(s) reserve the right to suspend, modify, cancel, or terminate the Grant Program at any time. These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. All claims shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California.
