The TermsThe Terms
Scientific Review Committee (SRC) – Approves projects dealing with human subjects,
vertebrate animals, pathogenic agents, controlled substances or recombinant DNA
Institutional Review Board (IRB) – a committee that, according to federal regulations
(45-CFR-46), must evaluate the potential physical and/or psychological risk of research involving human subjects.

Why do we need SRC/IRBsWhy do we need SRC/IRBs Rules – all participants must follow the rules
or their project will be rejected Supervision – to make sure researchers are
supervised by trained personel Safety – to make sure researchers are
performing experiments properly. Subjects must be treated properly and substances must be handled in a safe fashion
Informed Consent – required if human subjects are part of an experiment
Restricted Experiments – its in the rules. Not all experiments will be permitted

Is an SRC/IRB required for Is an SRC/IRB required for all projectsall projects
Yes, SRC reviews are done for all project submissions to the fair
And no, SRC and/or IRB reviews are required only for projects that perform research on restricted areas (discussed later). These reviews MUST occur BEFORE experimentation is started

What is the sequence of affairsWhat is the sequence of affairs
1. Choose a project topic
2. Determine what forms are needed
3. Fill out forms and submit for SRC/IRB approval (depends on form)
4. Begin experimentation
5. Complete project
6. Submit forms when entering the fair

How do I know what is requiredHow do I know what is required
1. Check out the rules and forms
2. Submit an SRC/IRB precheck email from the club’s website
3. Use the ISEF Rules Wizard on the Science Service website
4. Contact the Mercer Science and Engineering Club

Forms 1C and 2Forms 1C and 2 Form 1C: Regulated Research
Institutional/Industrial Setting– Must be completed by the scientist supervising the
student research conducted in a regulated research institution (e.g., universities, medical centers, NIH, etc.) or industrial setting.
Form 2: Qualified Scientist– Required for research involving pathogens; may
be required for research involving rDNA, vertebrate animals, controlled substances and humans.

SummarySummaryMSEC’s SRC checks all entriesProjects that require IRB/SRC
approval must have the appropriateforms before starting experiments
The grand prize winner’s entry will be check by ISEF’s IRB/SRC
Projects that require and do not have proper approval will be rejected
