Irb Member Confidentiality Agreement

When you hire someone, ask them to fill out the NCU confidentiality agreement template. A confidentiality agreement is required for all translators and interpreters. If you use a large company like Rev.com, Transcription Puppy, etc., you don`t need to get a confidentiality agreement. A confidentiality agreement is required for a research associate. In general, a research assistant is someone who is outside the NCU community and supports you in your search. So if you use a transcriber, translator, interpreter, research assistant or statistician, you have a confidentiality agreement with them so that they know that they should not disclose the identity of your participants or your data. Transcription companies (such as Rev.com, transcription societies, etc.) have publicly available privacy policies. If you submit your recording to a transcription company, you do not need to obtain a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality refers to the fact that the researcher knows and takes appropriate measures to protect the identity of his or her participants. If your participants are not fluent in English, you must ensure that all participant-related documents (recruitment documents, consent form, surveys, etc.) are available in the participant language(s) and that participants can communicate with someone who is fluent in their language(s).

If you are not fluent in the same language(s) as the participants, you will need to hire a translator for your participant-oriented documents and hire an interpreter who will be present at all interactions between you and the participants. .
