Research Plan (to Accompany Form 1A)

A) Rationale
Include a brief synopsis of the background that supports your research problem and explain why this
research is important and if applicable, explain any societal impact of your research.
Water pollution is taking a toll on our Earth.
B) Research Question(s), Hypothesis(es), Engineering Goal(s),
Expected Outcomes.
How is this based on the rationale described above?
Research Question(s): What can I make to decrease water pollution?
Hypothesis(es): If I can make a micro plastic water filter for oceans, then I can decrease water
pollution over time.
Engineering Goal(s): Make a micro plastic water filter for oceans.
Expected Outcomes: I will start by making a mini filter.
Procedure(s)
Detail all procedures and experimental design including methods for data collection. Describe only
your project. Do not include work done by mentor or others.
Research
Learn how to make a micro-plastic water filter
Sketch blueprint for mini filter
Gather supplies
Build mini filter
Test mini filter

Risk and Safety


Identify any potential risks and safety precautions needed.
I could cut myself so I have to be careful.
Data Analysis
Describe the procedures you will use to analyze the data/results.

IF Applicable
Below are subject-specific guidelines for additional items to be included in your
research plan/project summary as applicable.
Human participants research:
a. Participants: Describe age range, gender, racial/ethnic composition of participants. Identify
vulnerable populations (minors, pregnant women, prisoners, mentally disabled or economically
disadvantaged).
b. Recruitment: Where will you find your participants? How will they be invited to participate?
c. Methods: What will participants be asked to do? Will you use any surveys, questionnaires or tests?
What is the frequency and length of time involved for each subject?
d. Risk Assessment: What are the risks or potential discomforts (physical, psychological, time
involved, social, legal, etc.) to participants? How will you minimize risks? List any benefits to society or
participants.
e. Protection of Privacy: Will identifiable information (e.g., names, telephone numbers, birth dates,
email addresses) be collected? Will data be confidential/anonymous? If anonymous, describe how the
data will be collected. If not anonymous, what procedures are in place for safeguarding
confidentiality? Where will data be stored? Who will have access to the data? What will you do with
the data after the study?
f. Informed Consent Process: Describe how you will inform participants about the purpose of the
study, what they will be asked to do, that their participation is voluntary and they have the right to
stop at any time.

Vertebrate animal research:


a. Discuss potential ALTERNATIVES to vertebrate animal use and present justification for use of
vertebrates.
b. Explain potential impact or contribution of this research.
c. Detail all procedures to be used, including methods used to minimize potential discomfort, distress,
pain and injury to the animals and detailed chemical concentrations and drug dosages.
d. Detail animal numbers, species, strain, sex, age, source, etc., include justification of the numbers
planned.
e. Describe housing and oversight of daily care
f. Discuss disposition of the animals at the termination of the study.
Potentially hazardous biological agents research:
a. Give source of the organism and describe BSL assessment process and BSL determination.
b. Detail safety precautions and discuss methods of disposal.

Hazardous chemicals, activities & devices:


• Describe Risk Assessment process, supervision, safety precautions and methods of disposal.
