FAIR-G

Science fair coordinator timeline

A timeline for research plans, forms, SRC/IRB reminders, judging, awards, and post-fair deadlines.

Guide note

Start the timeline early

Forms, review checkpoints, display and safety checks, judging, and awards all carry dates — write them down before they start piling up.

The timeline shows what needs to happen and when. Whether a project complies is still the fair's call, not the spreadsheet's.

Guide note

Link to official sources

Rules, forms, and safety requirements change and may depend on affiliation.

Use reminders and official links instead of copying protected forms or instructions.
