The impetus for the special issue, "From Ideas to Efficacy" was the perceived need to stimulate and support a more vibrant research base that translates basic behavioral and social science research (bBSSR) discoveries to clinical and public health interventions. This special issue presents novel research that advances translational behavioral science, focusing primarily on the early phases of behavioral translation that are not as well recognized as later-phase translational science (e.g., dissemination and implementation research). The special issue includes a series of empirical, conceptual, and methodological papers, and a shining example of translational research that has had important clinical implications for the treatment of obesity and prevention of people with prediabetes from transitioning to Type II diabetes. In this introduction we will first set the context of the special issue and briefly comment on the papers. We end with several ideas in the areas of funding, training and publication of early phase translational behavioral science that can accelerate the process through which new ideas from our deepening understanding of human behavior can be more rapidly and fully brought to bear on the pressing health problems facing our nation and our world.

本期特刊的主题是“从理念到效果”，其出发点是认为有必要激发和支持一个更有活力的研究基础，将基础行为和社会科学研究（bBSSR）的发现转化为临床和公共卫生干预措施。本期特刊介绍了推进转化行为科学的新研究，主要关注行为转化的早期阶段，这些阶段不如后期阶段的转化科学（例如，传播和实施研究）得到广泛认可。本期特刊包括一系列实证、概念和方法论文，以及一个转化研究的典范，该研究对肥胖症的治疗和预防糖尿病前期患者向 II 型糖尿病转化具有重要的临床意义。在引言中，我们首先将特刊置于背景下，并简要评论这些论文。最后，我们提出了在早期转化行为科学的资助、培训和出版领域的一些想法，这些想法可以加速新思想的进程，使我们对人类行为的深入理解能够更快、更全面地应用于我们国家和世界面临的紧迫健康问题。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
