The Subcommittee of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Committee of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Science Council of Japan, released the report "Promotion of Social Contributions of Research on Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences" in September 2017, after analyzing the current status of the doctoral course in the 4-year system and extensive discussion. The analysis demonstrated that most of the themes of the doctoral course were related to research. However, most of the students in the general selection were involved in basic research, while the students in the adult selection were undertaking research on clinical pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences. This situation should be improved because the number of students in the adult selection is limited at present. On the other hand, most of the research on clinical practice includes only survey studies and their generalization will be difficult. It will therefore be important to promote collaboration between clinical practice and universities in the future. Based on this condition, the subcommittee proposed that "reverse-translational research" should be the core of research on clinical pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences in the near future. In addition, 1) collaboration among different research fields, 2) collaboration with clinical practice, 3) maintenance of research funding, and 4) development of human resources should be addressed.
日本科学理事会药学委员会临床药学与药学科学小组委员会，在分析了四年制博士课程的现状并进行广泛讨论后，于2017年9月发布了报告《促进临床药学与药学科学研究的社会贡献》。分析表明，博士课程的大多数主题都与研究相关。然而，一般选拔中的大多数学生都参与基础研究，而成人选拔中的学生则从事临床药学与药学科学研究。由于目前成人选拔中的学生人数有限，这种情况应予以改善。另一方面，大多数临床实践研究仅包括调查研究，其推广将很困难。因此，未来促进临床实践与大学之间的合作将很重要。基于这种情况，小组委员会提议“反向转化研究”应在不久的将来成为临床药学与药学科学研究的核心。此外，还应解决以下四个方面的问题：1）不同研究领域之间的合作；2）与临床实践的合作；3）维持研究资金；4）人力资源开发。
