This is a reminder that the deadline for students to complete their “Research Plan” and “Files and Forms” milestones is just a week away, on Monday, February 13 at 9pm. If you have any questions about completing these milestones, please ask so we can help you complete your registration. We look forward to seeing your projects at the fair!
Deadlines for the 2023 MCSF:
- Feb 13 at 9pm: “Research Plan” and “Files & Forms” milestones due
- Feb 13 at 9pm: deadline for SRC or IRB pre-approval (if needed)
- Feb 28 at 9pm: deadline to make any requested corrections to your Research Plan and/or Files & Forms
- Feb 28 at 9pm: “Additional Information” milestone due
- March 6 at 9pm: “Abstract” milestone due
Reminders:
- Please check that all your forms have signatures and dates before you upload them.
- While there are a few exceptions, projects involving human subjects (including surveys and testing on yourself), animals, and bacteria typically require project approval from the SRC or IRB BEFORE experimentation can begin. Please be mindful that our SRC and IRB reviewers are volunteering their time, and understand that it may take 7-10 days for them to complete review of your project. Please respond promptly to any questions the SRC or IRB reviewers send to you.
- No bacteria projects can be completed at home
- If you edit your research plan after it has been approved, it will switch back to “Not Approved”
