The ISEF forms are essential for documenting compliance with international research rules and guidelines, ensuring projects adhere to safety and ethical standards. Key forms include the Qualified Scientist Form (Form 2), Risk Assessment Form (Form 3), Human Participants Form (Form 4A), and Informed Consent Form (Form 4B), each with specific requirements for completion and signatures before research begins. These forms are mandatory for projects involving human participants, hazardous materials, or biological agents, and must be submitted for approval prior to experimentation.

ISEF FORMS
The ISEF forms are designed to document compliance with
the International Rules & Guidelines for research
projects. They provide the necessary information to
ensure the project adheres to ISEF rules and relevant
laws. These forms must be filled out and signed before
any research begins, with the dates reflecting when
approval or consent is granted.

Types of ISEF forms and their descriptions

Form 2: Qualified scientist form


-Form 2, the "Qualified Scientist Form," is required
for projects involving hazardous materials (human
participants, vertebrate animals, hazardous biological
agents, or controlled substances). requires the
scientist to fill in details about their educational
background, relevant research experience, and
confirmation that they are qualified to supervise the
student's project.
Form 3: Risk assessment form
-ISEF Form 3, the "Risk Assessment Form," is required
for projects involving hazardous chemicals, activities,
devices, or some biological agents. It requires
students to identify potential risks in their
experiment and outline safety measures to reduce those
risks. The form must be signed by the project
supervisor before research begins, ensuring that safety
protocols are in place for potentially dangerous
projects.
Form 4A: Human Participant form
-ISEF Form 4A, the "Human Participants Form," is
required for projects involving human subjects. It
outlines the procedures and ethical considerations,
including identifying potential risks and benefits to
participants. Students must obtain informed consent
from participants before starting the study. This form
is mandatory for any project involving human
participants.
Form 4B: Human Informed Consent form
-"Informed Consent for Human Participants" is a signed
form ensuring research participants understand the
study and voluntarily agree to take part. For research
outside regulated institutions, IRB approval is
required before data collection.

THE 3 W’S

Who will fill it out?

Form 2
A Qualified Scientist (QS) fills out the ISEF Form 2,
also known as the Qualified Scientist Form. The QS must
sign and date the form before the student begins
experimenting.
Form 3
The ISEF (Intel International Science and Engineering
Fair) Form 3 is typically filled out by a parent or
legal guardian of the student researcher.
Form 4A
Must be completed by student researcher(s) in
collaboration with the adult sponsor/designated
supervisor/qualified scientist.

Form 4B
ISEF Form 4B is filled out by the Qualified Scientist
who oversees the student's project. This person is
typically an expert in the field of research the
student is working on. The Qualified Scientist is
responsible for ensuring that the student's project
follows proper scientific methods, safety protocols,
and ethical guidelines

When to fill out?

Form 2
Must be completed before beginning research involving
human participants. This form ensures that any project
involving human subjects complies with ethical
standards and guidelines, and it should be submitted to
your affiliated science fair or reviewing institution
for approval.
Form 3
The Risk Assessment Form should be filled out before
starting any experimentation on your science project.

Form 4A
"Human Participants Form," before starting any research
that involves human participants in your science
project, as it is designed to document the details of
your study and ensure ethical considerations are
addressed, requiring approval from your school's
Scientific Review Committee (SRC) before any
experimentation takes place.

Form 4B
"Human Participants Informed Consent Form," before any
experimentation begins in your research project if your
study involves human participants and requires informed
consent from them; this means you need to complete the
form once you have finalized your research plan and are
ready to start recruiting participants.

When is it required?

Form 2
ISEF Form 2, also known as the "Qualified Scientist
Form," is required when a research project involves
human participants, vertebrate animals, potentially
hazardous biological agents, hazardous substances or
devices, or DEA-controlled substances.

Form 3
ISEF Form 3, the "Risk Assessment Form," is required
when a science fair project involves hazardous
chemicals, activities, or devices, including
potentially hazardous biological agents like certain
microorganisms.

Form 4A
ISEF Form 4A is required whenever a research project
involves human participants, meaning any time a student
is collecting data directly from people through
surveys, interviews, observations, or any other method
that interacts with human subjects, even if the
research is considered minimal risk; this form needs to
be completed and approved by the appropriate review
board.

Form 4B
ISEF Form 4B is required when a research project
involves human participants and is conducted at a
Regulated Research Institution (RRI), like a university
or hospital, and needs additional documentation beyond
the standard.
