The translational science spectrum consists of phases or types of research, from discoveries that advance our understanding of the biological basis of health and disease to interventions that engage individuals and social systems toward improved population health. The health research system has widely acknowledged flaws that delay (or even deny) the fruits of research findings for the population and for chronically disadvantaged groups. Coined and patented at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), T ™;symbolizes an approach and scientific philosophy that intentionally promotes and supports the convergence of interdisciplinary approaches and scientists to stimulate exponential advances for the health of diverse communities. While the T ™ patent is new, this approach to research translation is embedded within the MSM tapestry with historically aligned research from the Translational Collaborative Center exemplars as well as newly funded scholars. T ™ scholarship is characterized by the five tenets and practices that ultimately culminate in the conduct of research with results that broaden the evidence-base through data-driven proof of impact on health equity in underserved or special populations. T ™ is a destination that is ever-evolving and responsive to the research, priority populations and partners through translational research and corresponding approaches that transform health, thereby advancing health equity.
转化科学谱由研究的阶段或类型组成,从增进我们对健康和疾病的生物学基础的理解的发现,到使个人和社会系统参与改善人口健康的干预措施。健康研究系统存在广泛公认的缺陷,这些缺陷会延迟(甚至否认)研究结果对人群和长期处于不利地位的群体的益处。“T ™ ”这个术语是在莫尔豪斯医学院(MSM)创造并获得专利的,它象征着一种方法和科学理念,旨在促进和支持跨学科方法和科学家的融合,以刺激多样化社区的健康取得指数级进步。虽然 T ™ 专利是新的,但这种转化研究方法已经嵌入 MSM 的织锦中,其中包括来自转化协作中心典范的历史上一致的研究,以及新资助的学者。T ™ 奖学金的特点是五个原则和实践,最终通过对服务不足或特殊人群的健康公平产生影响的数据驱动证据,来开展拓宽证据基础的研究。T ™ 是一个不断发展的目的地,通过转化研究和相应的方法,对研究、优先人群和合作伙伴做出响应,从而改善健康,推进健康公平。
