ABSTRACT
The article provides a conceptual approximation to Translational
Research (TrR) in the health sciences. A historical
review of recent years was performed, as well as the study
of its relationships with applied research, evidence-based
research, implementation sciences and innovation-transference
of knowledge and technology. TrR in medicine
and education are strongly linked because of their mutual
feedback and the fertile common ground in medical
education.
A pedagogical guide (template) was developed for the
analysis of studies that aim to articulate basic research
with different translational research phases, including:
1) Introduction to study, 2) Analysis of the problem, 3)
Basic research, 4) Translational research, 5) Translational
mechanisms and 6) Evaluation and dissemination of results.
The use of these sort of tools, like other resources
or pedagogical strategies, may contribute to updating
and innovating the educational aspects of health and
other sciences, such as curricular innovation, research,
evaluation or academic/professional trajectories in higher
education institutions.
TrR has strengthened several academic and institutional
initiatives in different countries such as the creation
of partnerships, research centers and publications that
promote interdisciplinary collaboration and the integration
of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. Some of
its challenges are to develop and link models and instruments
to enhance collaborative work among researchers
and members of the community, the appropriate prevention
and management of fraudulent data, and the training
and assessment of graduates with a clear vision for connecting
science with professional practice. TrR highlights
the need for an articulated dialogue between different
disciplines’ advances in the search for society’s benefit.
