Does Your Project Require Review?
Your project must be reviewed if:

- Your data collection methods are systematic and methodical, AND
- The goal of your research activities is to contribute to the generalizable scientific knowledge base of a discipline (e.g., you hope to publish your results in a scholarly journal or present your findings at a conference)
