- BIOGENEIUS CHALLENGE: KNOWN AS THE INSTITUTE'S "FLAGSHIP" PROGRAM, THE BIOGENEIUS CHALLENGE PROVIDES HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE AND BE RECOGNIZED FOR OUTSTANDING RESEARCH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY. HAVING COMPLETED ITS 18TH YEAR AS A PROGRAM MANAGED AND HOSTED BY THE INSTITUTE, PARTICIPANTS - OVER 1100 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO-DATE - DESIGN AN ORIGINAL INDEPENDENT BIOTECH RESEARCH PROJECT THAT IS JUDGED BY AN EXPERT PANEL. THE TOP PARTICIPANTS SHOWCASE THEIR RESEARCH AT THE BIO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION TO OVER 16,000 CONVENTION ATTENDEES.IN 2010, THE INSTITUTE RESTRUCTURED THE BIOGENEIUS CHALLENGE TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH STATE PARTNERS, SPECIFICALLY STATE BIOSCIENCE ORGANIZATIONS. THIS NEW MODEL, DESIGNED TO BE A SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE NETWORK BY WORKING WITH AND THROUGH STATE ORGANIZATIONS, HAS HAD GREAT SUCCESS. THE RESULT OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS HAS BEEN A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF BIOGENEIUS PARTICIPANTS. THE 2019 INTERNATIONAL EVENTS TOOK PLACE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BIO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION (JUNE 3-6, 2019, PHILADELPHIA, PA).IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE INCREASED SUPPORT TO THE LOCAL PARTNERS AND ENSURE CONTINUED INCREASED STUDENT PARTICIPATION, LOCAL PARTNERS ARE LIMITED TO FOURTEEN AND AN ENHANCED ONLINE APPLICATION AND WEBSITE WAS BUILT. THIS NEW WEBSITE PROVIDES LOCAL PARTNERS FLEXIBILITY AND ACCESS TO THEIR COMPETITION DATA AND ALLOWS BIO STAFF TO FOCUS ON SUPPORTING THE PARTNERS AND STUDENTS. THE WEBSITE WAS REVAMPED IN 2015 TO EXPAND THE APPLICATION CAPABILITIES AND PROMOTE THE PROGRAM'S THREE BIOTECH PROJECT TRACKS: HEALTHCARE, SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT.
