Translational research is critical to ensuring that our work actually improves public health. But this type of work often requires skillsets in more than one field, work that does not fit neatly into a traditional job category, and relationships.
Moreover, laws and employer policies limit permissible political activities, government systems are confusing, and the adversarial nature of politics is downright intimidating.
During this free webinar presenters will highlight the skills, activities, and methods necessary to transform evidence or abstract ideas into sound policies.
Learning Objectives:
- Define translational research and its importance in public health.
- Explore the gaps and unmet needs of current systems and why those systems can make it difficult to operationalize academic ideas.
- Find the ways various professionals can contribute within a specific job role.
- Discuss the skills, methods, and relationships needed for successful translational research.
