What Else Do I Need to Do?

Will I need an Institutional Review Board (IRB)? See the U.S. Department of Health & Human
Services, Office for Human Research Protections below. You also need to check with your own
district about their guidelines. For example: Do I need permission from the school district to
survey students and parents/guardians? Do I need parental permission to use the services?
