Projects which require approval from DCPS and additional forms prior to beginning the experiment:
Use of Humans (depending on the project, students need the approval of an MD, Nurse Practitioner or Registered Nurse, or a person with an MS in Sociology or Psychology)
Use of Vertebrate Animals (need approval of a Veterinarian or Vet Assistant)
Potentially Hazardous Biological Agents (must be done with a qualified scientist with limitations as to the type of agent allowed and the location of the experiments)
Hazardous Chemicals, Activities, and Devices (depending on the project, students must work with a qualified scientist [chemicals above 1 M concentration or with specific risks based on the Safety Data Sheet information] or supervised by an adult [use of power tools or certain chemicals])
Students can use the ISEF Wizard to determine whether their projects fall into one of these categories, or can contact the Secondary Science team at Email Secondary Science Fair.
Projects conducted at a research institution require form 1C, and projects continuing from a previous year require form 7.
