Scientific method
Ask question Background research Construct hypothesis Experiment Analyze results draw conclusion Hypothesis is (true, false partially true) Report results
identify the most effective and most efficient interventions, treatments, and services
Outcomes and health services research
translating knowledge from the basic sciences into the development of new treatments
Translational research
distribution of disease – factors that affect health – how people make health-related decisions
Epidemiological and behavioral studies
lays the foundation for advancements in knowledge
Basic research
research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects
Clinical Research
– mechanisms of human disease – therapeutic interventions – clinical trials – development of new technologies
Patient-oriented
directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts
Basic research
Research skills
Critical thinking
Problem solving
Analysis
Dissemination
translating the findings from clinical trials into everyday practice
Translational research
