The following terms and conditions govern the submission of a technology product by a student team (“Team”) to the Go Viral to Improve Health: IOM-NAE Health Data Collegiate Challenge (the “Challenge”) sponsored by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering ("the Sponsors").

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

• The Challenge is open only to teams comprised of students, 18 years of age or older, enrolled in a United States college or university. Students must be enrolled in their college or university both at the beginning of the Challenge (January 7, 2013) as well as on the technology product submission deadline (April 17, 2013).
• A team must include at least 2 people. There may be no more than 5 people on a team.
• Colleges and universities may have several teams; however, a student may only be a part of one team.
• The Challenge is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. A team may include both undergraduate and graduate students.
• Teams are required to consult with a faculty advisor. The faculty advisor’s name, title, and contact information must be provided during registration. As teams develop the strategy for their technology product, the faculty advisor may provide guidance; however, the majority of the work should be developed by the students.

SPONSORS

The Sponsors have the absolute discretion to make all decisions related to eligibility, the development, management, and evaluation of the technology product submitted as an entry to the Challenge. The decision of the Sponsors is final.
