About the Project You Are Presenting

Project category*

For more information on each category, check the participation categories page.

A note about WSU Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for research involving human subjects:
If your research work involves human subjects (opens in a new window), then you must have received WSU IRB (opens in a new window) approval of your work before it can be presented at SURCA. This need for IRB approval even applies to data (e.g., from interviews, surveys, etc.) that was collected as part of a course-based research experience (opens in a new window).

It is the responsibility of you and your research mentor to determine whether IRB approval is necessary and, if so, has been properly obtained. If your work involves human subjects, we recommend that you speak with your mentor about WSU IRB approval before submitting your abstract. You are also welcome to contact the Office of Undergraduate Research if you have any questions.

Category for your research proposal*

Based on the field you are working in, which one of the other SURCA categories does your research proposal fall under? (Indicating the area of your proposed research is important for assigning judges to evaluate your project.)
