The official PDFs themselves
The files published by the Society for Science are filled field by field. Nothing is redrawn, so what you hand in is the form the fair expects.
ISEF rules cycle 2026–2027
The official ISEF forms,
done right the first time.
Answer a few questions about your project. ISEF Forms works out exactly which of the sixteen official forms you must file, fills your details into every one of them, collects each signature by a link, and hands back a complete package.
Accounts are created by invitation — there is no public sign-up.

Each answer brings a form in or takes one out. Nothing is guessed.

0
accounts a signer needs

From the first question to the stamped approval
Scroll, and the path lights up as you go.
-
Step 1 · Scope
Answer seventeen questions
Where you experiment, whether humans or vertebrates take part, what hazards you handle. Each answer brings a form in or takes one out — nothing is guessed from your title.
-
Step 2 · Plan
Read exactly what you must file
Every form your answers brought in — why it applies, who signs it, when it is due, and the official rule behind it. Plus anything your project is forbidden from doing, before you start rather than after.
-
Step 3 · Details
Write your details once
Your name, your project title, your school. They go into every form that asks for them. What is left is only what belongs to that one form.
-
Step 4 · Fill
Complete each form and attach the evidence
The official PDF is filled field by field — never redrawn. Attach the research plan, the abstract, whatever that form asks for.
-
Step 5 · Signatures
Send each signer their link
A parent, a school official, a veterinarian — each gets a link to their one form. They sign by drawing or typing their name, with no account, and see nothing else about your project.
-
Step 6 · Review
The committee decides
Approved, and you are done. Or returned with a note saying exactly what must change — then you fix it and submit again.
-
Done
A complete, ready-to-submit package
Every required form, filled and signed, downloadable as one file.
Why it is different
Rules you can check
Every form shows the rule that requires it, in the official wording. You are never asked to take the system's word for it.
Counted, never claimed
“10 of 10 signatures” is counted from the signature records themselves. A form is never called signed while one signer is still outstanding.
Nothing is deleted
A project is archived, not destroyed, and comes back exactly as it was. A refusal to sign is recorded with its reason rather than vanishing.
Everyone has one part, and only that part
StudentOwns the project: answers, fills, attaches, submits.
Adult sponsorReviews the plan, names the risks, signs Form 1.
Qualified scientistConfirms supervision of the regulated work.
Parent or guardianAcknowledges and signs on a minor's behalf.
School officialConfirms on the school's behalf, by link.
VeterinarianSigns where vertebrate animals are involved.
Review committeeReads the submitted file; approves or returns it.
AdministratorOpens the season, invites people, sets what each may do.
A signer reached by email sees one form and nothing else — not the project's title, not its other forms, not who else is working on it.
Ready when you are
Your administrator sends you a link, you set a password, and your project is waiting.
