UW-Madison will often not be able to serve as IRB of record for sites or personnel in countries outside the US. Instead, review and approval by a review board or ethics committee in the country in which the research will be conducted should be obtained (a list of international standards on human subject protections can be found on the OHRP website ). In the event a review board and/or ethics committee is not available to review your study and/or does not review the type of research you plan to conduct, please contact RELIANT (irbreliance@wisc.edu) for assistance.
