Hence, translational research is seen as a key component to finding practical applications, especially within healthcare. Connecting research with these practical applications can be challenging at times, however, in part due to the compartmentalization within scientific research training. Scientists in general are not taught to correlate their research with clinical application, and clinicians often fail to connect clinical observations with how they formulate a research study. And while public health professionals have plenty of the community knowledge general scientists and clinicians lack, they often skip over and formal training in basic or clinical research.

Translational research is research that helps to make findings from basic science useful for practical applications that enhance human health and well-being. It is practiced in fields such as environmental and agricultural science, as well as the health, behavioral, and social sciences. For example, in medicine and nursing it is used to "translate" findings in basic research quickly into medical and nursing practice and meaningful health outcomes.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines translational research as such:

Translational research includes two areas of translation. One is the process of applying discoveries generated during research in the laboratory, and in preclinical studies, to the development of trials and studies in humans. The second area of translation concerns research aimed at enhancing the adoption of best practices in the community. Cost-effectiveness of prevention and treatment strategies is also an important part of translational science.

Hence, translational research is seen as a key component to finding practical applications, especially within healthcare. (Full article...)
