Does your project require SRC pre-approval (involves risk, hazards, chemicals, humans, and/or is a Continuation)? Have you competed in our fair in the past? Did you compete in an ISEF affiliated fair other than Synopsys? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you must pay and submit your application by November 13 at 11:59pm. Please note: If you’re missing a signature or two, that’s okay—just make sure you have the required forms uploaded and you pay before the deadline!
Please note, we continue to receive a large number of applications before the deadline! With that in mind, we kindly ask all students and teachers to allow the staff ample time to do an initial review of the submissions. If your project page indicates “Project Status: Payment Submitted,” you can rest assured that your submission was made on time and you submitted before the Nov 13th deadline.
To help expedite the review process, please ensure your Forms Folder includes the following PDFs:
- Project Page
- Form 1, Form 1A, Form 1B
- Hold Harmless
- Media Release
- Ethics Statement
- Research Plan
*Some projects may also require: Additional Forms such as Form 7, 3 Form 1C, 2, 4 etc.
Additionally, please double-check the following:
- All forms have the necessary signatures.
- The correct boxes are checked on the Adult Sponsor Form 1.
- The signature dates on Form 1, Form 1B, Permission/Hold Harmless, and Form 3 are dated prior to the start of your experimentation.
Lastly, it may be several weeks before an SRC reviewer is able to evaluate your project for approval. Staff have to review before SRC can review/approve. We appreciate your patience as we work through the many submissions that came in just before the deadline.
