The development of antiviral drugs provides an excellent example of how basic and clinical research must be used together in order to achieve the final goal of treating disease. A Research Oriented Learning Activity was designed to help students to better understand how basic and clinical research can be combined toward a common goal. Through this project students gained a better understanding of the process of scientific research and increased their information literacy in the field of virology. The students worked as teams to research the many aspects involved in the antiviral drug design process, with each student becoming an "expert" in one aspect of the project. The Antiviral Drug Research Proposal (ADRP) culminated with students presenting their proposals to their peers and local virologists in a poster session. Assessment data showed increased student awareness and knowledge of the research process and the steps involved in the development of antiviral drugs as a result of this activity.
抗病毒药物的研发为基础研究与临床研究必须协同运用以实现治疗疾病这一最终目标提供了一个绝佳范例。设计了一项以研究为导向的学习活动，以帮助学生更好地理解基础研究与临床研究如何能为了一个共同目标而结合。通过这个项目，学生对科学研究过程有了更好的理解，并提高了他们在病毒学领域的信息素养。学生们分组研究抗病毒药物设计过程中涉及的诸多方面，每个学生都成为项目某一方面的“专家”。抗病毒药物研究提案（ADRP）在学生们以海报展示的形式向同龄人及当地病毒学家展示他们的提案时达到高潮。评估数据表明，由于这项活动，学生对研究过程以及抗病毒药物研发所涉及步骤的认识和了解有所增加。
