Revive & Restore
We are excited to welcome Revive & Restore as an iGEM Partner for the first time!
Revive & Restore is the leading conservation organization promoting the incorporation of genetic tools into standard conservation practice. For the 2020 Competition, Revive & Restore will award up to 12 grants of $5500 each to teams whose projects are focused on solving a problem in conservation. See below for more information on how to apply.
There are many ways synthetic biology can create tools for conservation. In the span of this iGEM year, what will your team be capable of? Revive & Restore asks you to think alternatively and think big!
Can you create a synthetic horseshoe crab bait for fisheries? Or generate pollutant remediating microbes? What about using CRISPR/Cas9 for DNA-extraction-free monitoring of invasive species? Use a creative, ambitious goal to develop the first small, scientific steps to get there. Conservation needs innovation. Your next-generation ideas could help save wildlife and ecosystems!

Team Grant Opportunity
Awarding up to 12 grants of $5500 to teams with projects focused on conservation
Revive & Restore are challenging iGEM 2020 teams to think alternatively, and innovate in the name of conservation.
Revive & Restore will award a $5,500 grant (USD) to up to 12 teams that meet our conservation criteria. This sum will be provided to help kick-off your team project and will help to offset the iGEM 2020 regular registration fee*. We’ll also provide sponsored teams with a “kick-off” call as well as project feedback.
