• Research Translation Continuum
  (Modified from Khoury M et al. 2007. Genetics in Medicine.)
  The framework for the continuum of multidisciplinary translation research builds on previous characterization efforts in genomics and other areas in health care and prevention. The continuum includes four phases of translation research that revolve around the development of evidence-based guidelines. Phase 1 translation (T1) research seeks to move a basic genome-based discovery into a candidate health application (e.g., genetic test/intervention). Phase 2 translation (T2) research assesses the value of a genomic application for health practice leading to the development of evidence-based guidelines. Phase 3 translation (T3) research attempts to move evidence-based guidelines into health practice, through delivery, dissemination, and diffusion research. Phase 4 translation (T4) research seeks to evaluate the "real world" health outcomes of a genomic application in practice. Because the development of evidence-based guidelines is a moving target, the types of translation research can overlap and provide feedback loops to allow integration of new knowledge.


• Evidence Integration Triangle
  

  (Glasgow RE et al. 2012. Am J Prev Med. 2012 Jun;42(6):646-54)
  Intervention (Program/Policy) (e.g. design; key components; principles; external validity) has a bi-directional connection to "Practical Progress Measures (e.g. actionable & longitudinal measures)". "Practical Measures" has bi-directional connection to "Implementation Process" (e.g. team-based science; CBPR; patient centered care). "Implementation Process" has a bi-directional connection to "Intervention (Program/Policy)". Each bi-directional arrow displays the word "Feedback" above it. This completes the circular connection from "Intervention (Program/Policy)" to "Practical Progress Measures" to "Implementation Process" back to "Intervention (Program/Policy)". "Ongoing Partnership & Stakeholder Engagement" is in the middle of the circle.
  
  The evidence-based movement was a good start, but only gets us so far

  • To make greater progress, two other elements also need attention:
  • Practical MEASURES to track PROGRESS, and
  • Implementation PROCESSES that use partnership
  • The 3 legs of the "EIT" are each necessary but not sufficient by themselves


• Research-tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs)
  Research-tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs) provides easy and immediate access to: 1) programs tested in a research study, 2) publications of the study findings, and 3) program products or materials used with a particular study population in a specific setting. Because the programs on this site are science-based, they may be particularly effective in serving the populations and communities in the settings in which they were originally tested.
