� Changes & Modifications for 2008-May 2009 � Human Subjects • Ingestion, tasting, smelling, application of a substance or exposure to any potentially hazardous materials is an example of an activity containing more than minimal risk for studies involving human subjects. See page 14. Vertebrate Animals • Certain studies involving behavioral observations of animals are exempt from prior SRC review. See page 17, #11. • Research conducted at a regulated research institution involving nutritional deficiency, ingestion, inoculation or exposure to unknown or potentially hazardous materials or drugs is permitted to proceed only to the point where the first sign of the deficiency or effect appear. See page 19, #4. Potentially Hazardous Biological Agents • Frozen tissue is to be treated the same as fresh tissue. • Form 3 is no longer required for studies involving certain microorganisms. See page 21, #12. Hazardous Chemicals, Activities or Devices • Clarification of rules regarding firearms and explosives. See page 26, #1. Form and Other Changes • The name of Form 6A has been expanded to include the term “Risk Assessment.” • “Science educator” replaces “science teacher” for membership on IRB’s and SRC’s. In addition to providing the rules of competition, these rules and guidelines for conducting research were developed to facilitate the following: • protect the rights and welfare of the student researcher and human subjects • protect the health and well-being of vertebrate animal subjects • follow federal regulations governing research • offer guidance to affiliated fairs • use safe laboratory practices • address environmental concerns � The Rules on the Web � www.societyforscience.org/isef/primer/rules.asp The International Rules and Guidelines for Science Fairs is available on the Society for Science & the Public website in a number of formats to better aid all of those involved in the process: students, parents, teachers, mentors, fair directors and local, regional and state scientific review committees (SRC) and institutional review boards (IRB). • International Rules and Guidelines - The full text of the International Rules and the forms both in html and in a downloadable format. • The Intel ISEF Rules Wizard - This “wizard” asks a series of questions about your planned project and will provide a list of forms that you need to complete. • Common SRC Problems - This list was generated from the SRC reviews leading up to the Intel ISEF. Read these to get pointers on what NOT to do. Page 4 International Rules for Precollege Science Research: Guidelines for Science and Engineering Fairs / 2008-2009
� Intel ISEF Categories and Subcategories � The categories have been established with the goal of better aligning judges and student projects for the judging at the Intel ISEF. Local, regional, state and country fairs may or may not choose to use these categories, dependent on the needs of their area. Please check with your affiliated fair(s) for the appropriate category listings at that level of competition. Please visit our website at www.societyforscience.org/isef/students/research_categories.asp for a full description and definition of the Intel ISEF categories: ANIMAL SCIENCES Development Ecology Animal Husbandry Pathology Physiology Populations Genetics Systematics Other BEHAVIORAL & SOCIAL SCIENCES Clinical & Developmental Psychology Cognitive Psychology Physiological Psychology Sociology Other BIOCHEMISTRY General Biochemistry Metabolism Structural Biochemistry Other CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY Cellular Biology Cellular and Molecular Genetics Immunology Molecular Biology Other CHEMISTRY Analytical Chemistry General Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Organic Chemistry Physical Chemistry Other COMPUTER SCIENCE Algorithms, Data Bases Artificial Intelligence Networking and Communications Computational Science, Computer Graphics Software Engineering., Programming Languages Computer System, Operating System Other EARTH & PLANETARY SCIENCE Climatology, Weather Geochemistry, Mineralogy Paleontology Geophysics Planetary Science Tectonics Other ENGINEERING: Electrical & Mechanical Electrical Eng., Computer Eng., Controls Mechanical Engineering, Robotics Thermodynamics, Solar Other ENGINEERING: Materials & Bioengineering Bioengineering Civil Engineering, Construction Eng.
