* PROJECTS IN THESE CATEGORIES MAY NEED AN ENDORSEMENT(S). See the appropriate sections of this site for clarification.
** WHEN A CONTROL GROUP IS NOT POSSIBLE, A COMPARISON AMONG TRIALS IS ACCEPTABLE.

Endorsement requests MUST be made PRIOR to experimentation in order to ensure the safety of the test subject(s) and/or the scientist. The project plans are reviewed by the Scientific Review Committee and, if safe, the endorsement is granted and the experiment may be carried out. Permission to carry out an experiment CANNOT be given to one that has already been completed.

Endorsements must be signed and submitted by teacher sponsors ONLY.
