This module provides a detailed understanding of key translational science principles, approaches, and ideals. It aims to serve Pilot applicants, K scholar applicants, SC CTSI folks, and any other interested party in learning about translational science. Learners will be introduced to the topic with an introduction video which explains the working definition of translational science, the difference between translational science and translational research, and how translational science can be implemented into research projects.
Following the introduction video, learners will have access to the following:
- Translational Science Education Videos: Asynchronous videos that teach the basics of translational science. Topics include: what is translational science, how to conduct a translational science project, how to put together a translational science team, and more. Each video will include a knowledge quiz to receive a certificate of completion.
Future content will include:
- Translational Science Interest Group (TSIG) Meetings: Interactive meetings aimed at building a community of translational scientists. In these meetings, new translational science topics will be covered, and people can share ideas and gain feedback on their research.
- Translational Science Resources: A place for people to learn more about translational science beyond the other offerings. Resources include publications, tools, and short videos to help learners understand translational science. The resources are not exhaustive and will be updated over time.
- Translational Science Blogs: Discussion forums aimed at disseminating translational science information to interested parties.
