ISEF project database

17,565 projects from the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, 2014–2026 — each with the abstract it was judged on, the category it was entered in, the award tier it reached, and a link back to the official ISEF listing.

ISEF projects by year

Every year the archive holds, with how many finalists' projects are in it. A year page is the whole cohort, not a selection.

ISEF projects by category

ISEF judges in a fixed set of categories, and a project competes in exactly one of them. Pick one to see every ISEF project filed under it.

Award tiers

Grand Award placings run First through Fourth within each category, so a First Award is first in its category rather than at the fair overall. Special awards from sponsoring societies are recorded on the project pages but are not a browsable cut, because they do not form one vocabulary across years.

How this compares to the official ISEF search

The Society for Science publishes an abstract search of its own, and it is the authoritative record — every project page here links to it. Two things are different about this one. It searches by meaning, so a description of an idea finds work that never used your wording. And it holds several fairs in one place, so an ISEF result sits next to comparable CWSF and JSHS work instead of in its own silo. The Canadian side of that →
