ABSTRACT

A relevant perspective for Behavioral Sciences has been developed in recent years: the translational research or bridge research. Although this idea is not to new, the perspective has been developed in an international context of diminishing resources and a broad demand that more funds to basic research could demonstrate more social impact. The discussion has been broad, since those whom say that the only need is excellent basic science and total freedom to researchers in order to decide the scientific priorities of their research lines, until those whom demand direct resources to applied or technological research, and people that demand state in volvement in resources allocation and delimitation of national research priorities. In this framework translational research emerges as a rational way of work to cope with such problem. In this work context for translational research of developmental and behavioral sciences is analyzed and how this perspective represent opportunity points to reconsider diverse aspects related to the conceptual and methodological quality of basic and applied research. In addition, public politics implications are analyzed, some useful translational examples in medical sciences are discussed, and also examples on translational research on behavioral sciences, social behavior and the human resources development and dissemination of this perspective are exposed. The role of higher education institutions is discussed as a critical element in human resources development in translational research within behavioral sciences.
