All projects require ISEF forms 1, 1A, Research Plan, and 1B, plus an Abstract once the work is completed. The Research Plan (text document) must include:

  1. Question or Problem being addressed
  2. Hypothesis/Engineering Goals
  3. Description in detail of method or procedures used including your experimental design and data analysis plan
  4. Bibliography including at least five (5) major references (e.g. science journal articles, books, internet sites) from your literature review. If you plan to use vertebrate animals, one of these references must be an animal care reference

Special Projects are those projects involving regulations that require additional special paperwork (such as any project using microorganisms, vertebrates, hazardous substances, regulated substances, humans, surveys of humans, and continuation projects). These projects must have pre-approval before you start any experimental work from your school's Internal Review Board (IRB) or TCRSF's Scientific Review Committee (SRC).

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