Do I need IRB approval for interviews with colleagues?
Almost certainly yes if it is research involving human subjects and you intend to publish or submit it. Familiarity with participants does not remove the requirement, and it can add a coercion concern your application needs to address.
This comes up on IRB Application Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
