The University of Utah Science and Engineering Fair fully supports and follows the rules of Society for Science, which is the organizing entity behind the Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS), the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), and the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge (JIC). Read the statement from Society for Science about Scientific Integrity here.
