Banner Translation:
For projects occurring at a Banner Health location (BUMC-Tucson, South, Phoenix, or other Banner Health clinics) that will enroll non-English speaking individuals, all study-related documents seen or utilized by non-English speaking subjects require translation and IRB approval.
Use of Cyracom, Banner's approved translation service, is preferred for:
- Non-sponsored studies; or
- Sponsored studies where the Sponsor or central IRB will not provide translation of the study documents themselves.
Once English versions of study documents have been approved by the IRB, translation requests can be sent directly through Cyracom’s portal https://portal.cyracom.com/customers/#/sign-in/ or to doctrans@cyracom.com(link sends e-mail). Please review the Language Translation Process document for detailed instructions on how to obtain translations through Cyracom.
Researchers at the University of Arizona can also use alternative translation services if they issue a Certificate of Translation.
UA researchers may also utilize the University of Arizona's National Center for Interpretation to provide translated participant material and consent forms for use in studies occurring at Banner. Any translations provided by the UA NCI must come with a Certificate of Translation/Accuracy. Language translation Services
