How to Enter Submit a 300-word (maximum) abstract describing a pilot project using the Olink^TM Reveal platform. Each Applicant may submit only one application. Entries will be accepted until May 1, 2026 at 11:00 PM EST.

Entries for the Program must be submitted as set forth in the Program Details. Sponsor makes no guarantee or warranty with respect to the security or confidentiality of applications or the application process. By entering, the Applicant gives permission to Sponsor to contact the Applicant regarding Sponsor’s products and services, whether or not the Applicant is selected as a winner. Each Applicant shall be entitled to make one (1) entry into the Program only. In the event that Sponsor deems an Applicant to have made multiple applications to enter or to have acted in bad faith with respect to the Program, the Applicant shall be excluded from the Program and consequently ineligible to be selected.

Selection Of Winners And Notifications. The Applicant acknowledges and agrees that the participation, winner selection, and the award (as specified in the Program Details, the “Award”) provided to the Award Recipient under the Program is not, and will not be, based upon the volume or value of any business previously generated between Sponsor and the Applicant, or the Applicant’s institution or company, or any other organization that the Applicant is involved in, if applicable, but based on an assessment of the applications against the selection criteria set forth in the Program Details. Applications will be judged by a panel of individuals designated and employed by Sponsor. Finalists may be invited to participate in an interview as part of the evaluation process. Such interviews are expected to take place between May 20 and May 30, 2026. The decision of this panel will be final and binding and shall not be subject to review or appeal by any Applicant or by any third party. Sponsor will attempt to notify the selected Applicant(s) by email within approximately ten (10) business days after selection. If a selected Applicant has not responded to email inquiries within 4 business days, Sponsor will attempt to contact the winner by telephone. If the winner cannot be reached by telephone within forty-eight (48) hours of first telephone attempt to notify such winner, the Awards may, in Sponsor’s discretion, be forfeited and an alternate Applicant may be selected by the panel. Once a winner has been successfully contacted, Sponsor and the winner will discuss project details, any required documentation (including, e.g., sample forms), sample submission and randomisation. The Award will be subject to and contingent on the Award Recipient’s agreement to and compliance with additional terms provided by the Sponsor governing the services awarded under the Program.

The winner will provide samples to Sponsor at winner’s cost and in accordance with applicable shipping and handling instructions provided by Sponsor.

Restrictions Apply. Samples must be prepared in accordance with the instructions to be provided to the winner and as set forth in the Program Details. Samples must be collected in compliance with applicable law and ethical permitting requirements. The Award may not be transferred or assigned; no substitutions or cash equivalents are allowed. The winner may be required to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility/release of liability/publicity release (where legal), and the Award Recipient may be required to execute an agreement with Sponsor governing services awarded under the Program (the “Analysis Service Agreement”), in each case within twenty- one (21) days of first notification attempt. If the winner fails to return the executed affidavit/release (if applicable) or Award Recipient fails to return the executed Analysis Service Agreement, by the deadline, the Award will be forfeited, and an alternate winner may be selected by the panel based on the criteria set forth above.

The Applicant understands and agrees that no ideas, information or materials that are submitted to or otherwise provided to Sponsor in connection with the Program will be returned, and that Sponsor makes no guarantee or warranty with respect to the security or confidentiality thereof. All taxes on the Award and reporting thereof, and any other costs, fees and expenses relating to the Award or the Program, are the sole responsibility of the winner and/or the winner’s institution or company. By submitting an application or accepting the Award(s), the Applicant agrees on behalf of the Applicant and the Applicant’s institution or company: (1) to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (together with the Program Details, the “Rules”); (2) that Sponsor shall retain full authority, in its sole discretion, to interpret and administer these Rules; (3) that any dispute with regard to the conduct of the Program, interpretation of the Rules or selection of the winner(s) shall be resolved by Sponsor, whose decision shall be binding and final; (4) to be bound by all decisions and interpretations made in good faith by Sponsor; and (5) that all services awarded under the Program will be subject to Sponsor’s Analysis Service Agreement.

Sponsor may refuse to provide the Award if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that doing so would likely result in a violation of an applicable law, rule, or policy.

Use Of Winner’s Name And Likeness. The Applicant acknowledges and agrees that, if the Applicant is selected as a winner, the Applicant’s name, biographical information, likeness, the name of the Applicant’s institution or company, and the project title (excluding further project details) may, without further compensation, be published on one or more Sponsor website(s) and through social media.

Miscellaneous. Sponsor reserves the right to suspend, modify, cancel or terminate the Program without advance notice, including, without limitation, in the event of any act, occurrence or reason that it believes would compromise the legality, integrity, administration or fairness of the Program.

Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Program may be a violation of law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person and participant to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Program if it is not capable of running as planned due to circumstances including, but not limited to, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures or any other problems beyond the control of Sponsor.
