Applications may be submitted any time after the 2027 application is open on the website until midnight on the FINAL day. Applications will be reviewed by the SRC/IRB in the order they are received.
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) must review projects involving human subjects. For that reason, projects using human subjects that are received after Nov. 13, 2026, will NOT be accepted.
*February 18, 2027 8pm (PST) is the last day for projects to be accepted, and titles, categories, or fields of study can’t be changed after acceptance. If you need to withdraw, please let us know before February 18, 2027 as this is the last day for an official withdrawal; after that date, your project will officially count as a no-show.
**Request access when the message pops up in Google Drive. Upload your abstract by Feb 20, 2027 at 8pm (PST). On Feb 26, 2027, Judging Folders will be available to Sponsored Awards & Grand Prize judges because some of them must screen many projects before selecting the ones to interview.
