ISEF Forms

• These are essential documents for studentsparticipating in science fairs, especially those leading up to Intel ISEF or other large competitions.


  ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair) forms
• ISEF forms help ensure that the project does not pose any risks to the student or others involved.


  Ensuring Ethical and Safe Research
• Before starting their project, students must havetheir project plans reviewed and approved by their school's Institutional Review Board (IRB) or a similar committee.


  Approval of the Project
• ISEF forms keep track of important aspects of thestudent's project, including data collection,experimentation, and adherence to scientificprotocols. 


  Monitoring the Research Process
• These forms help ensure that the project complies with ISEF competition rules.


  Compliance with ISEF Rules
• ISEF forms provide written records for the student's project and show the student followed the necessary steps and rules.


  Providing Documentation
• Proper completion and submission of ISEF forms are mandatory for students who want to participate in ISEF-affiliated fairs.
