There are two ways for students to complete paperwork: (LHS PROCESS FOR 2023 TBD)
Paperwork Manager
Students can download a blank ISEF or custom form and then upload the completed form directly to the site. When using the Paperwork Manager, students will be able to easily see the forms which are required for their particular project.
Project Dashboard & Electronic Signatures:
Streamline the paperwork process for students and reviewers by allowing them to E-sign the generated ISEF Forms when using the Project Dashboard. Students, Adult Sponsors, Scientist in the Lab, etc. can easily fill out and review the Generated ISEF Forms and e-sign them. They can also easily see which signatures are missing and which forms have not yet been approved. Based on the responses to the ISEF Wizard/Questionnaire, only the forms required for the student’s particular project are provided to the student on their Project Dashboard. Additionally, based on the information provided during registration, many fields on the Generated ISEF Forms are pre-populated for the student. This makes it even easier for the students to fill out their ISEF Forms. The Generated ISEF Forms can be downloaded with the click of a button and printed.
