Rules for DEBUT 2021 Announced! RULE CHANGES DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC In light of the social distancing measures that kept most students from entering labs this year, we are modifying our criteria to acknowledge teams that had excellent ideas for healthcare innovations but could not build and/or test/debug a prototype. We also want to reward teams who were able to achieve a working prototype. As in DEBUT 2020, each team will receive an ideation and a prototype score. The ideation score will be based on the significance, impact, and innovative design criteria weighed equally. The prototype score will be based on the significance, impact, innovative design criteria, and working prototype criteria, weighed equally. The team's final score will be the higher of the two. Prizes will be selected based on the final scores. Teams that could not achieve a prototype can indicate so in their write-up and focus their video on the presentation of the problem addressed and the conceptual design developed to address it. Submit now: Deadline is June 1, 2021. The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) and VentureWell are challenging undergraduate student teams to develop technology solutions to unmet needs in any area of healthcare. Two NIH partners, NIH Office of AIDS Research and the National Institute of Minority and Health Disparities, are providing a prize each for 1.) technologies for HIV/AIDS prevention and/or care, and 2.) technologies for underrepresented populations and/or for low-resource settings.
