International Association of Clinical Research Translators

Advancing accuracy and accountability in clinical translation

The International Association of Clinical Research Translators represents translators, reviewers, editors, and terminologists who work across the regulatory and clinical lifecycle. We set professional standards for accuracy, confidentiality, and accountability in the translation of clinical research materials, and we support members through continuous professional development, peer exchange, and applied research. IACRT is committed to ensuring that the language work underpinning clinical research meets the standards patients and investigators deserve. Membership is open to language professionals worldwide who work in clinical research.
