The UNMC campus is invited to attend a workshop on translational research on Aug. 14-15 in Room 3013 of the College of Public Health.
The “Translating Effective Interventions into Practice: An Interactive, Pragmatic Workship for T3-T4 Research” is being hosted by the Great Plains IDeA Clinical and Translational Research Network, the Center for Patient, Family & Community Engagement in Chronic Care Management (CENTRIC) and the UNMC College of Public Health.

Research in the areas of human studies and clinical translation, known as T1 and T2, is well developed and defined, though there is still a lot of discussion about where basic science ends and translational science begins.
At the other end of the spectrum, testing new treatments and preventive medicine approaches in typical clinics and communities as well as moving science into policy, system, and environmental changes — known as T3 and T4 research — is less well defined and funded. It is arguably also the type of research that can have the greatest impact on communities and community advisory boards.
The workshop is designed to help scientists develop and refine ideas for grant proposals that focus on T3 and T4 dissemination and implementation research.
It will feature a keynote speech by Russ Glasgow, Ph.D., an international expert in implementation science, as well as local speakers with expertise and experience getting funding for this type of research.
Registration closes Aug. 7. There is a $150 registration fee.
