In response to National Institutes of Health initiatives to improve translation of basic science discoveries we surveyed faculty to assess patterns of and barriers to translational research in Oklahoma.
An online survey was administered to University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, College of Medicine faculty, which included demographic and research questions. Results: Responses were received from 126 faculty members (24%). Two-thirds spent ≥ 20%time on research; among these, 90% conduct clinical and translational research. Identifying funding; recruiting research staff and participants; preparing reports and agreements; and protecting research time were commonly perceived as at least moderate barriers to conducting research. While respondents largely collaborated within their discipline, clinical investigators were more likely than basic science investigators to engage in interdisciplinary research.
While engagement in translational research is common, specific barriers impact the research process. This could be improved through an expanded interdisciplinary collaboration and research support structure.
为响应美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health）旨在改善基础科学发现转化的倡议，我们对教职员工进行了调查，以评估俄克拉荷马州转化研究的模式和障碍。
对俄克拉荷马大学健康科学中心医学院的教职员工进行了一项在线调查，其中包括人口统计学和研究问题。
收到了126名教职员工（24%）的回复。三分之二的人将≥20%的时间用于研究；其中，90%的人进行临床和转化研究。确定资金；招募研究人员和参与者；准备报告和协议；以及保护研究时间通常被视为开展研究的至少中等程度的障碍。虽然受访者大多在本学科内进行合作，但临床研究人员比基础科学研究人员更有可能参与跨学科研究。
虽然参与转化研究很普遍，但特定障碍会影响研究过程。这可以通过扩大跨学科合作和研究支持结构来改善。
