Chances for EA

[cdz512]

<p>

I am doing this project with a partner for the Siemens Team Competition. I will serve as the Group Leader. However, I have a slight problem. It says on the website I cannot work with humans. Is this counted as working with humans??? This would suck because I have been working since January of this year just for Siemens.

</p>

<p>So I don’t like chance threads but I do have good knowledge about the Siemens.</p>

<p>You can work with humans given that you follow the guidelines </p>

<p>

For the purpose of this Competition, live vertebrates include humans, mammalian embryo or fetus, bird eggs within three days (72 hours) of hatching, and all other vertebrates at hatching or birth.</p>

<p>Section V on the Mentor Form, Vertebrate Certification, must be completed by the advisor, mentor, or supervising scientist.</p>

<p>Projects that involve in any way, including testing and questioning, the use of live human subjects or other live vertebrates or the fluids, cells, tissues, or organs from vertebrates are accepted only under the following conditions:</p>

<ol>
<li>The research project is conducted in a registered institution or laboratory where human or animal experimentation is authorized. The mentor(s) is required to provide the following information on the certification form:
* Name of the research institution
* Title of the study
* Institution Review Board (IRB) approval number and approval date in the case of human subjects; a high school IRB is not permitted
* Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approval number and approval date in the case of other vertebrate animals</li>
<li>The vertebrate animal cannot be euthanized for the purpose of the student’s research project. Fluids, cells, tissues, and organs may be used only if the animal was euthanized for another purpose.</li>
<li>Students may work only with non-living material (e.g. fluids, tissues, or organs) supplied by the supervising scientist.
