clinical (human subject) research; however, significant barriers continue to exist in moving knowledge bi-directionally between basic research, clinical research, and applications to improve health outcomes in individuals and the community.\u00a0 These barriers make it difficult to efficiently and effectively translate new knowledge into improved patient care.<\/p>\n<p>To remedy these problems, Translational Science has emerged as an academic and scientific discipline.\u00a0 Translational Science (TS) is a scientific discipline that investigates methods to move discovery more efficiently and effectively into application.\u00a0 TS investigators must respond, interact, facilitate change, and conduct research within and among varied organizational behaviors, structures, and cultures.\u00a0 TS conducts rigorous studies that close the knowledge gaps between different levels of the research process \u2013 the basic science laboratory, clinical research discoveries, and application of these research findings toward disease prevention and management, and strategies to improve human, community, and global health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new joint doctoral
