How to Develop Research Materials in Languages Other than English—CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series

This check sheet is for researchers who are planning to work with participants who speak a language or multiple languages besides English. This check sheet will help researchers ensure that their research materials are accessible. It also offers recommendations for preparing to translate and interpret materials. About the CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series: The National Science Foundation-supported CONVERGE facility at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder has developed a series of short, graphical check sheets that are meant to be used as researchers design their studies, prepare to enter the field, conduct field research, and exit the field. The series offers best practices for extreme events research and includes check sheets that are free to the research community.
