Research that includes experiments, surveys or human subjects in any way must seek IRB approval.

Harvard's Committee on the Use of Human Subjects manages IRB approval.  Their website is here:
http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~research/hum_sub/index.html

Particularly helpful are these guidelines about the type of research that may need to go through IRB approval:

If you have questions, please contact a staff member from the Committee on the Use of Human Subjects.
