Consent Translation
The IRB Office currently requires a certification statement to be submitted with all non-English translations of consent forms, recruiting materials and other study materials. This statement should attest to the validity of the translation and include a statement of the English and non-English qualifications of the translator.
Please note that for projects the IRB has determined to be minimal risk, and on a case-by-case basis for some studies with greater than minimal risk, the IRB Office accepts translations by a native speaker, provided that person has the appropriate language fluency in English and the other language to provide an accurate translation. You must provide documentation equivalent to the Certificate of Translation using this template.
Investigators may contact any of the translation services listed below for assistance in translating consent forms.
