Although not all-inclusive, some examples include demonstration studies of pharmaceuticals and medical devices in preclinical systems, and/or clinical research on therapeutics, devices, or practice using human tissues or resources. The ultimate goal of translational research is to move an observation forward into clinical application and accelerate the clinical introduction of healthcare products, technologies or practice guidelines. Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from a laboratory discovery, population-based studies, or a clinician’s first-hand knowledge of patients and anecdotal data. However, Principal Investigators (PIs) should not view translational research as a one-way continuum from bench to bedside. ...
