The study team must describe the role of external individuals (i.e., those not affiliated with an institution with an IRB or HRPP) in the study, including how they will be involved in any study interactions with participants (e.g., obtaining informed consent) or interventions (e.g., administering surveys). If external individuals (unaffiliated with an IRB/HRPP) will be conducting data or sample analysis for the study, you also should describe this in your protocol or application. Depending on their role in the study, external personnel may not be engaged in human research and not need IRB oversight. Nonetheless, their involvement in the study must be described in your protocol or application. For information about how to request UW-Madison serve as the reviewing IRB for individuals as well as training requirements, please see other sections in this manual.
