Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device used in your project/central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines). A new application of and outstanding documentation (quantitative data showing the Part’s/ Device’s function) of a previously existing BioBrick part in the “Experience” section of that BioBrick’s Registry entry also counts. Please note you must submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry,Click here to see all of these parts mentioned above!

SILVER

Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected.

Document the characterization of this part in the “Main Page” section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry.Parts:[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1431101 BBa_K1431101],[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1431301 BBa_K1431301],[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1431812 BBa_K1431812],[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1431813 BBa_K1431813],[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1431814 BBa_K1431814],[http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1431824 BBa_K1431824],

Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines).

iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Articulate at least one question encountered by your team, and describe how your team considered the(se) question(s) within your project. Include attributions to all experts and stakeholders consulted.Click here to see our safety page.

GOLD

Improve the function OR characterization of an existing BioBrick Part or Device (created by another team or your own institution in a previous year), enter this information in the Registry. Please see the Registry help page on how to document a contribution to an existing part.
The growth of the Registry depends on having a broad base of reliable parts. This is why the improvement of an existing part is just as important as the creation and documentation of a new part. An "improvement" is anything that improves the functionality and ease-of-use of a part, so that it is more likely to be used by the community. "Characterization" is a measurement of a functional parameter of a part, preferably in absolute units, that can precisely and repeatably be performed in other labs.

Help any registered iGEM team from another school or institution.

iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Describe an approach that your team used to address at least one of these questions. Evaluate your approach, including whether it allowed you to answer your question(s), how it influenced the team’s scientific project, and how it might be adapted for others to use (within and beyond iGEM). We encourage thoughtful and creative approaches, and those that draw on past Policy & Practice (formerly Human Practices) activities.
