A typical entry packet from a high school student contains:

  • SASEF entry form (1 page, created on website) - signed by student, parent
  • ISEF Form 1 Checklist for Adult Sponsor (linked from our webpage) - signed by adult sponsor
  • ISEF Form 1A Student Checklist Typed Research Plan - title, abstract*, hypothesis, objectives, procedures, bibliography (generally 2-3 pages total); be sure to include information relevant to human subjects, vertebrate animals, recombinant DNA, or hazardous materials if used in your experiment - the more information, the better
  • ISEF Form 1B - Approval Form - signed by student, parent Additional forms, if required (human subjects, etc.)
  • * Student may also use the official ISEF abstract form, but it is not required
  • ***If the project requires SRC (Scientific Review Committee - for hazardous substances or vertebrate studies) or IRB (Internal Review Board - for human subjects) review, the high school must organize a review committees - either one of each (IRB, SRC) or a single, combined IRB/SRC board. Most high schools have such a board because of other activities. However, the middle or home school does not need to form its own committees. The SASEF has a regional-level SRC/IRB, and this group will review your research plan for you. The deadline for submitting your research paperwork to SASEF for SRC/IRB approval is December 20. It is best to submit your plan well before this deadline, though, in case it needs revision before it can be approved.
