- When are proposals due?
- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH AT 11:59 PM SST/NUT/UTC-12.
- What if I know nothing about AMR, can I still participate?
Yes! In fact, most of our participants would not have previous experience in AMR. We will have resources available for you to learn about AMR. These are available here: https://innovate4amr.wordpress.com/additional-resources/
- How can I find a team?
The Innovate4AMR team does not take responsibility for matching students to teams, but at your discretion you are welcome to seek out students at your school, nearby schools, schools around the world, or students connected to our Innovate4AMR Facebook page and accompanying Facebook group.
- Can I choose my team members?
Yes, choosing team members is up to you! Teams should be between 2 and 5 people.
- Can I be on more than one team?
Yes, but we urge you to be cautious with how you distribute your time across more than one team.
- How many proposals can a team submit?
A team can only submit one proposal.
- Are polytechnic students permitted?
Yes, polytechnic students at the university level are permitted!
- Are non-students or healthcare professionals permitted to participate?
While we recognize that many healthcare professionals are deeply involved in antimicrobial stewardship throughout the healthcare delivery system, the Innovate4AMR competition is primarily aimed at engaging students, ideally working across disciplinary boundaries, as part of the next generation of future leaders in antimicrobial stewardship. As such, we ask that teams be exclusively made of students. However, you are welcome to encourage any students you know to participate in the competition, and to mentor them if you have time!
