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 Propio, 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 Propio portal.
Go to https://vu.propio-ls.com to create an account and get started. For payment, Propio can work with a PO or can send an invoice.
