The Institutional Review Board (IRB) provides accreditation for research activity across and within the University. The IRB must approve all research conducted by students, faculty, staff, or research affiliates from other institutions before primary data collection or project initiation. The goal of reviews is to ensure that research activity prioritises human subjects' safety and privacy. Undergraduate, Masters & PHD students should download the student application. Ashesi Faculty & Staff, External Bodies, Organisation and Independent Researchers should download the staff application.
