Registering a Student Project

Teachers, we are now online for most of your needs.

Download the following information

All projects must submit the following forms, completed exactly as requested. Incomplete forms will not be processed. All forms can be downloaded to the desktop and completed on the computer since they are in an interactive PDF format. No handwritten forms will be accepted!

• Regional Form A
• Regional Form B
• Student Abstract
• Checklist for Adult Sponsor (1)
• Approval Form (1B)
• Student Checklist (1A)

A number of other ISEF forms may be required of your project. See the rules wizard to figure out which ones.

SRC/IRB Approval

The following projects require SRC/IRB approval before research begins.

• Human subjects including surveys (These require IRB approval only, but we recommend combining your SRC and IRB into one committee.)
• Potentially hazardous biological agents
  • rDNA technologies
  • human or animal fresh tissues
  • blood or other body fluids
• Vertebrate animals
• Controlled substances, devices, and equipment
  • chemicals (i.e. hazardous, flammable, explosive or highly toxic, carcinogens, mutagens, and all pesticides)
  • equipment (i.e. welders, lasers, voltage greater than 220 volts)
  • Firearms
  • Radioactive substances
  • Radiation (i.e. X-ray or nuclear, unshielded ionizing radiation of 100-400nm wavelength)

To provide for prior approval, each school district is responsible for forming a local review panel.
