Steps to becoming ISEF Eligible

1) Using the Complete 2010 Rules Booklet, and all applicable forms from All Forms for 2010 prepare your ISEF eligibility package to your best ability; include all required signatures.  The eligibility package (especially the research plan) should be filled in and reviewed by your local Scientific Review Committee (SRC)and the VSSMF-ISEF (SRC) BEFORE any experimentation begins.   If you have questions about any of this, contact pinkhamc@norwich.edu for assistance. 

 

2) No later than February 15, 2010, email a pdf (or other image file format) of your completed, draft eligibility package to:

 

     pinkhamc@norwich.edu

 

     or mail a COPY of your completed eligibility package to:

 

     SRC, c/o Dr. Carlos Pinkham, Biology Department, Norwich University, 158 Harmon Drive, Northfield, VT 05663.

 

3) The SRC will review your package and within one to three weeks and send you an email specifically identifing any changes that need to be made to bring it into compliance with ISEF regulations.

 

4) Make the necessary changes and confirm with an email that you made the changes.

 

Step 4 will make you eligible for all ISEF-related Prizes.

 

5) Bring your corrected  ISEF eligibility package with all ORIGINAL signatures and a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Vermont State Science and Mathematics Fair.  Your corrected package will be collected at Registration and reviewed for completeness.  If you are one of the two finalists chosen to go to ISEF, this application will be promptly mailed to ISEF.   If you are not a finalist, your original package will be mailed back to you in the SASE.
