The Promise of Research: Now and in the Future
The five-year grant will support efforts by OHSU’s Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute to hasten the application of research results to benefit the public. The NIH grant renews a $55 million grant that the institute received in 2006 , albeit at a lower amount.
The NIH has had to scale back the awards for all translational research institutes this second time around, said Dr. Eric Orwoll , the institute’s director.
But Orwoll is not upset about the smaller amount.
“It’s a lot of money to go to clinical and translational research, which is fabulous,” Orwoll told me.
The grant will support translational research in a variety of ways, including development of new facilities, career training for young clinicians and, of course, the launch of new research projects.
Wiki's not the best but to put it in comparative terms:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation al_research versus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcomes_re search
They both look pretty similar. Any key differentiators?
I think outcomes research focusses more on patient quality of life, ie, its not as scientifically quantifiable, whereas translational refers to more traditional (medical) solutions in a lab/clinic setting, transferred to patient. So there is a clear difference.
I've heard the term "Clinical and Translational Sciences" within the context of research in the health care/pharmaceutical industry. What is "translational science" (in laymen's language please)? What does it involve? Thank you!
When scientists discover a cure, they need to find a way to make it work in the human body. They may find ways to "cure" a disease growing in a dish, but then need to find a way to make it work in our bodies (i.e. make it into a pill form, injection...)
