Form Submission for the EXPO
Pre-approval is required for certain types of projects, specifically those involving Human Subjects, Vertebrate Animals, or Potentially Hazardous Biological Agents. The submission deadline for pre-approval paperwork is January 21. The Scientific Review Committee will meet on January 28 to review the paperwork and determine whether the experiment may proceed, or whether changes are necessary.

Deadlines for registering for the Expo itself are as follows:
February 18th for an early registration fee of $15.00 per person.
