Clinical Trial
"Darüber hinaus senden wir Ihnen eine Kopie der von der Ethikkommission XXX geforderten Bestätigung zur Kenntnisnahme des Protokolls und der Investigator's Brochure (Zentrum ABC)."
From a letter about a clinical trial. I know "zur Kenntnisnahme" generally means "for the information of", but "for the information of the protocol" makes no sense. (I'm quite certain that Protokoll is in fact protocol here, and not record.) And I'm not sure whether Bestätigung is confirmation, acknowledgement or what. But "Bestätigung zur Kenntnisnahme" seems to be a complete entity, but I simply can't work out an English translation for it. TIA for your help.

Comment: "Yes, this sounds pretty good. Thanks Bernhard (and Rosa for the peer comment). Appreciate everyone's help."
Discussion
It sounds like the ethics committee is asking someone (perhaps the investigator) to confirm that they've read the protocol and investigator's brochure.

Makes me think that simply using "acknowledgement" (as in acknowledgement of the protocol or even protocol acknowledgement) might be the way to go here.
