CERTIFICATE OF TRANSLATION FORM Version 2015.a For research conducted in languages other than English, the Rutgers IRB must have all versions of the research material [e.g. consents, recruitment, instruments, etc.] in both English and non-English to be retained in the research file. A certificate of translation form is also required to verify the translations are accurate. Those who translate the material are to provide a brief description of their qualifications, skills or experience for serving in this role and sign the certificate of translation form. Translation: It is acceptable for an investigator listed as research personnel to translate the research material. Timing of the Translation: the research investigator(s) may wish to delay the initial translation until after the IRB has reviewed the English versions. Doing so may help researchers avoid multiple translations. Modifications: If the non-English documents are submitted to the IRB after initial approval, please submit a research modification form along with the translated material and a copy of the certificate of translation.
