ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair) Forms - for ALL students

Also known as SRC (Scientific Review Committee) Forms

We are affiliated with state and international fairs, and therefore use the forms compliant with the international rules for science research and science fair competition. These forms are used for students of all grades and levels of competition, from school and local fairs to regional, state, and international competitions.

TEACHERS/STUDENTS/PARENTS: DO NOT PRINT FORMS DUPLEX / ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PAPER. PLEASE PRINT SINGLE SIDED ONLY FOR OFFICIAL PAPERWORK- no colored paper (we have to scan forms) and no staples!

Form 1 Instructions from our SRC chair - PDF.

An explanation of each form can be found on the Intel ISEF website.

Note: the signature date is the date of project approval, not the date of signature.

Media release form -- The student prints this form after registering online at the end of registering online - see the small row of buttons above your registration information - or you can log back into your student account and either print it or email a PDF of it to one email address at a time (parent, student, teacher, etc.) after registering online for printing at another location. Each form is preprinted with the student's name - so for teams, each person may log in to their own student account to print their own required Media Release Form.

The forms are also available on the official ISEF Document Library page which is available on the Society for Science website.

***Students/Teachers: KEEP ORIGINAL paperwork - students must have paperwork at project for competition. SEND US A CLEAN COPY which we will NOT RETURN to you this year!

For Project Registration, please save our volunteers time by organizing your forms in this order (top of pile to back) AND please print forms SINGLE SIDED (NOT duplex) on plain white paper (not colored: we have to scan & copy!) and do not staple anything:

Check made out to TCRSF for registration fee (& electricity fee if you requested it; this covers the cost of running cable) - one check may be used for multiple fees, but please indicate what students, projects, papers, or electricity fees are included in that check)
Media release form signed by parent (one for each student) - This can be printed or emailed after registering online.
Abstract - This may be on the official ISEF Abstract form OR it may be a document on plain paper, but please include the student's first and last name, the title of the project, and the grade the student is in (grades 6-12). MAKE SURE THE WORD COUNT IS NO MORE THAN 250 WORDS!!! NOTE: We require the abstract to be in a minimum of three places: entered on-line for each event the student is registered (paper, project, or both), AND a printed copy must be included in the forms paperwork, AND the abstract must be displayed vertically at the student's exhibit. (For regional & state fairs, the abstract may be on the board (on the ISEF form is optional), or in a plastic document holder or frame on the table top of the exhibit display, or taped to the front edge of the table; for ISEF, the abstract may NOT be on the boards but will be displayed vertically.)
Form 1 - Please make sure all appropriate boxes are checked and date is BEFORE your start date listed on form 1A. We need the date to show the date the adult supervisor approved the project (said it was okay for the student to do this project), NOT the current date the form is being filled out.
Form 1A
Form 1B - This must be dated before the start date listed on Form 1A. We need the date to show the date the parent and student knew the risks concerning their project and approved that they could do this project (parent said it was okay for the student to do this project), NOT the current date the form is being filled out.
Complete Research Plan - this is just a typed document that includes: A.) Statement of the problem or question being investigated, B.) Hypothesis, C.) Detailed procedure(s) - (We need to know concentrations of chemicals, sources of cell cultures or genetic material or sources of tissues used, and your analysis plan.), and D.) Bibliography or References: MINIMUM of 5 good references - and if you use a website as a reference include the date accessed because websites may change. If you have used one or more vertebrate animals, then at least one reference must include information on the care of that vertebrate animal.
Forms 1C through form 7 IF NEEDED, and certification of training letters or letters from university IACUC documentation, etc., as indicated on the Form 1 checklist and as determined by the procedures the student used. Form 7 Continuation is for ALL STUDENTS used any information learned last year for this year's project! With form 7 you must include last year's complete research plan and last year's abstract - clearly labeled in the upper right corner with LASTNAME YEAROFPROJECT. E.g. Smith, John - 2010, Smith, John - 2009, Smith, John - 2008. We need the research plan for last year's project and the abstracts for last year's and all previous year's projects done at the regional or above levels.

For Paper Registration, mail the media release form signed by parent (one for each student) - This can be printed or emailed after registering online. AND the registration fee check made out to TCRSF. (One check for both paper & project or for multiple students is just fine as long as you indicate what entries and students the check covers.) Students must also email their research paper and abstract AND enter their abstract into the online registration form. See directions on the "Research Paper" page of our website.
