: There is a need for comprehensive planning tools and exemplars for clinical environmental health research programs. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Translational Research Framework (NIEHS-TRF), as a comprehensive research activity mapping framework, promises to fill this gap in program planning and communication tools.
: The objective is a proof of concept demonstration to apply the NIEHS-TRF as a research project and career trajectory cartography framework.
: We utilized case series examples to apply the NIEHS-TRF as a project/career cartography framework. After a tailored research mission statement is clarified, the four step process in the NIEHS-TRF application includes 1) identifying research categories and activities (depicted visually by rings/nodes) that link to research program deliverables, 2) within each category (visual ring), linking specific works and program outcomes to activities (visual nodes), 3) coherently depicting visually as an overall map, and 4) developing recommended improvements for the NIEHS-TRF for research program cartography utility.
: Successful mapping of a research project plan in a training grant application, a summary of an individual trajectory of research, and a community-initiated project was completed with mapping visualizations. The exercise facilitated purposeful planning and communication to describe common translational goals, progress, and targeted need for interdisciplinary collaboration.
: Utilizing the NIEHS-TRF as a mapping tool for research program planning enabled unique insights into strengths, gaps, collaboration opportunities, and applications for environmental health nursing. This research project, career, and community-initiated research program trajectory mapping communication tool promises to accelerate impact and advancement through purposeful and clear planning for ongoing research activities along the translational continuum.
临床环境卫生研究计划需要全面的规划工具和范例。国家环境卫生科学研究所转化研究框架(NIEHS-TRF)作为一个全面的研究活动映射框架,有望填补这一空白,为规划和沟通工具提供方案。
本研究旨在应用 NIEHS-TRF 作为研究项目和职业轨迹绘图框架进行概念验证。
我们利用案例系列示例来应用 NIEHS-TRF 作为项目/职业绘图框架。在明确了定制的研究任务声明后,NIEHS-TRF 应用的四步过程包括 1)确定与研究计划可交付成果相关的研究类别和活动(通过环/节点可视化表示),2)在每个类别(视觉环)中,将特定作品和计划成果与活动联系起来(视觉节点),3)以整体地图的形式连贯地描绘,4)为研究计划绘图工具的 NIEHS-TRF 提出改进建议。
成功地将研究项目计划、个人研究轨迹的摘要以及社区发起的项目映射到培训补助金申请中。绘图可视化使共同的转化目标、进展和对跨学科合作的针对性需求的描述变得有目的和具有沟通性。
将 NIEHS-TRF 用作研究计划规划的绘图工具,使我们能够深入了解环境卫生护理的优势、差距、合作机会和应用。这种研究项目、职业和社区发起的研究计划轨迹绘图沟通工具有望通过沿转化连续体有针对性和明确地规划正在进行的研究活动,加速影响和进步。
