A Regeneron ISEF-affiliated science fair is a research-based, high school competition that is a member of Society for Science & the Public’s affiliated fair network. These competitions exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and more than 75 countries, regions, and territories. To affiliate, science fairs agree to follow basic guidelines for fair operations and Society rules governing student research, but are ultimately responsible for their own management. Fairs are conducted at local, regional, state and national levels.
You can contact your school’s fair representative or the NDSERSEF Scientific Review Committee (SRC) to answer your inquiries before experimentation. Additionally, the Regeneron ISEF SRC is available year-round to answer any rules inquiries. Questions about the International Rules and Guidelines, especially pertaining to the use of vertebrates, human subjects, or potentially hazardous biological agents can be addressed to the ISEF SRC directly at SRC@societyforscience.org.
