Learning Competency:
Utilize the standards (criteria or checklist) in evaluating a research paper
(peer/group/expert).
What I Need to Know
The ISEF forms provide the essential information that is needed during the
review of research projects ensuring that they comply with the research
standards, rules and regulations accordingly.
After going through this learning toolkit, you are expected to:
1. familiarize the different forms required for research studies;
2. identify and accomplish the forms required or appropriate for a specific
type of research project; and
3. appreciate the importance of forms in conducting research.
What is It
ISEF forms constitute written documentation of what will occur or has

already occurred in a research project (Society for Science and the Public,
2020). In addition, the forms should be accomplished and signed before
research takes place. However, there are some forms that are accomplished
after the research is completed. The dates of the signatures reflect when the
approval or the consent is given
There are forms that need to be accomplished for all types of projects;
but, some required for specific types. This toolkit will be helpful for the student
researchers like you to be familiarized with the different ISEF forms.
1. Checklist for Adult Sponsor (1). The checklist is provided so that the
adult sponsor can review what information (and therefore which forms)
must be provided. The date signed is the date that the sponsor first
reviews the project plan before the experiment begins.
To view Checklist for Adult Sponsor or Form 1 , visit the link

https://sspcdn.blob.core.windows.net/files/Documents/SEP/ISEF/2020
/Forms/1-Checklist-for-Adult-Sponsor.pdf
2. Student Checklist (1A). On this page, the student outlines what the
project is about. Items that especially need to be clear are the
following:
3
Research 10
#6: Any project conducted in a similar area of research as
previous projects should be considered a continuation. If the
project is a continuation, explain on Form 7 as completely as
possible how the project will differ from previous
experimentation because ONLY a new and different research
project is allowed. The current year project must demonstrate
significant progress.
#7: Explain when the actual experimental procedure (not the
background literature review) will begin and end because ONLY
a 12-month project that occurred within the last 18 months
before this ISEF is allowed.
#8: Explain where the experimental research will be done:
research institution, school, field, home. Universities, research
facilities, and industrial settings will require additional
documentation on Form 1C to explain what was done at each
facility. (Note: Pathogens may NOT be cultured at home.)
#10: Attach a Research Plan and Project Summary, as outlined
in the Research Plan and Summary Instructions, which
describes the project in detail and answers all applicable
questions.

/Forms/1A-Student-Checklist-Research-Plan-Instructions.pdf
3. Approval Form (1B). These statements attest that each of these

people (or committees) approves or consents to this project. The
dates should be signed as described below and are before
experimentation unless otherwise indicated:
• Student- date they attest that they understand the
possible risks, that they have read and will follow the
rules, and that they abide by the ISEF ethics statement.
• Parent/Guardian- date that they consent to their child
doing the project.
• SRC Approval BEFORE- date the committee reviews the
project prior to the conduct of the study. Projects that
must be pre-approved are researchers in these areas:
human participants, vertebrate animals, and PHBAs
including microorganisms, recombinant DNA, and
human/animal tissue.
• SRC Approval AFTER- This applies only to projects that
needed preapproval by the SRC but were done at a
research institution and were preapproved by that
institution instead of the affiliated fair SRC. The date
4
Research 10
signed indicates when the SRC approved this project
after it was completed. All documentation from the
research institution showing approval of the project must
be attached.
• Final SRC Approval- All projects must be reviewed by the
SRC after the experimentation is complete and shortly
BEFORE competition in the affiliated fair. The date
signed shows the date that SRC gives final approval to
this project.

0/Forms/1B-Approval-Form.pdf
4. Regulated Research Institution (1C). This form is completed by the
supervising adult, explains what the student researcher actually did
and is signed AFTER the project is completed. This form is only
needed if the research was done at a research institution (university
lab, for example) or in an industrial setting, but is not completed for
work done at a high school.
To view the form, visit the link
/Forms/1C-Regulated-Research-Institution.pdf
5. Qualified Scientist (2). On this form, the scientist explains what will
be done to oversee this project. The qualified scientist (QS) and, if
needed, the designated supervisor (DS), will sign with the date that
they approve this project (BEFORE experimentation takes place).
Here is the link for the said form,
/Forms/2-Qualified-Scientist.pdf
6. Risk Assessment Form (3). Required for projects using hazardous

chemicals, activities or devices, and some PHBA’s including protists,
composting, coliform test kits, decomposition of vertebrate organisms
and microbial fuel cells and must be completed and signed by the DS
or QS prior to student experimentation.
Here is the link
/Forms/3-Risk-Assessment.pdf
7. Human Participation Form (4). This form, along with the research
plan, is submitted by the student researcher to explain to the IRB how
the safety and well- being of the test subjects and the confidentiality of
results will be ensured. The IRB reviews the project, checks the risk
5
Research 10
level and determines if written documentation of
assent/consent/permission is required. All questions must be
answered and boxes checked. Each IRB member signs with the date
they approve this project. This review and the date signed must
be BEFORE any experimentation takes place. When required by the
IRB, a written informed assent/consent/parental permission form is
used to explain to the research participant and their parent/guardian
the risks and benefits associated with participation. Questionnaires,
sample tests, etc. MUST be given to the IRB and to the
parent/guardian. If the participant wishes to participate and when
required, the parent/guardian also agrees, they each sign the
Informed Consent Form with the date that they approve. (BEFORE
the experimentation begins).
You can view the form by using this link
/Forms/4-Human-Participants.pdf
8. Vertebrate Animal Form (5A). This form is filled out by the student
researcher when the experiment is conducted in a Non-Regulated
Research Site such as home or school and describes the housing
and care for the animals. The SRC reviews this document and
determines the level of supervision required for the study and signs
and dates BEFORE experimentation begins. The bottom of the form is
filled out by the veterinarian and/or designated supervisor and is
signed and dated when they approve this project with these housing
conditions.
You can view the form, use this link
/Forms/5AB-Vertebrate-Animal.pdf
9. Vertebrate Animal Form (5B). This form is filled out by the Qualified
Scientist when the research is conducted at a Regulated Research
Institution and describes the study. A copy of the IACUC approval
(not a letter from the Qualified Scientist or Principal Investigator) must
be attached.
Here is the link
/Forms/5AB-Vertebrate-Animal.pdf
10. Potentially Hazardous Biological Agents (6A). This form is filled out
by the student researcher and is required for all research involving
microorganisms, rDNA and fresh/frozen tissue (including primary cell
lines, human and other primate established cell lines and tissue
cultures), blood, blood products, and body fluids.
6
Research 10
SRC/IACUC/IBC/RAC approval required BEFORE experimentation.
The qualified scientist will sign and date. The SRC will choose one or
more statements that describe the approval process for the study and
will add the date that approval occurred.
Here is the link to the said form
/Forms/6A-Potentially-Hazardous-Biological-Agents.pdf
11. Human & Vertebrate Tissue (6B). This form is filled out by the
student researcher and explains the source of the tissue. The
Qualified Scientist or Designated Supervisor signs and dates to
document the source and handling of this tissue
(BEFORE experimentation).
The said form can be viewed at
/Forms/6B-Human-Vertebrate-Animal-Tissue.pdf
12. Continuation Projects Form (7). If the current project is in a similar

area of research as any previous project of the student or any team
member, it is considered a continuation. Explain as completely as
possible how the project is different from previous experimentation
because ONLY a new and different research project is allowed. The
date signed is the date the student researcher is certifying that this
information is correct.
The form can be viewed at
/Forms/7-Continuation.pdf
13. Abstract. Not a form but a very important document that is attached
to the Student Checklist or Form 1A. The abstract is a summary of the
study and is written AFTER experimentation.
The official abstract in PDF form can be accessed at
