- Choose a topic that not only interests you, but can be done in the amount of time you have.
- Use a calendar to identify important dates.
- Leave time to fill out the forms and to review the Research Plan with your Sponsor.
- Certain projects require more time because they need prior Scientific Review Committee (SRC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval.
- Allow plenty of time to experiment and collect data – even simple experiments do not always go as you might expect the first time or even the second time.
- Also leave time to write a paper and put together an exhibit.
