SRC approval needed?

I was wondering whether SRC approval is needed for online tests, and if it is necessary, then how would you send a copy of the test with your science fair application.
Thanks,
swimmy

Hi,

I don't know much about science fair rules, but I would guess that if SRC approval would be needed for you to give people a test that wasn't online, it will also be needed for an online test. Perhaps you could print out the questions from the online test and send them in with your application? I suspect this would be preferable to simply including a URL with your application.

Hi Swimmy - Science Buddies has some information posted on SRC approval here: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... _src.shtml

You'll find some information about questionnaires and interviews if you click through to the link regarding human subjects.

Hope that helps!
