* must provide value

T1 translational research refers to the process of applying discoveries made in the laboratory.

T2 translational research focuses on clinical studies using human subjects.

T3/T4 translational research refers to the translation, diffusion, and adoption of evidence-based health strategies and interventions into community and practice settings (representative methods include community-based participatory research, practice-based research, comparative effectiveness research, behavioral economics, implementation research, and dissemination research.)
