**Researchers must identify and secure ethics approval**, from an institutional review board (IRB) and, if applicable, any relevant authority in the study location, for studies directly involving **human subjects** or the use of **personally-identifying information**.
- As the World Bank does not have an IRB, we recommend seeking approval from IRBs of partnered institutions, such as the universities with which external PIs are affiliated.
- If none of the research team members has an institutional IRB affiliation, the research team should use an accredited IRB for independent researchers, such as [Western IRB](http://wirb.com/Pages/IRBServices.aspx) and [Solutions IRB](https://www.solutionsirb.com).
- If none of the research team members has an institutional IRB affiliation, the research team should use an accredited IRB for independent researchers, such as [Solutions IRB](https://www.solutionsirb.com), [HML IRB](https://www.healthmedialabirb.com/) and [IPA IRB](https://www.poverty-action.org/researchers/working-with-ipa/irb).

is it limited to DIME affiliates? i thought once we put on eservices and added a cost it was open to pretty much any one at the Bank. and doesn't work for DIME affiliates outside the Bank, right?
