Bridges to Translation pilot funding is designed to support research that breaks down roadblocks across the translational research spectrum through:
- the development of novel technologies
- multidisciplinary collaborations
- dissemination and implementation of evidence-based programs, policies, and practices
- strategies for dissemination and implementation
- training programs for the next generation of clinical research scientists and staff
- statistical methods and models to analyze data and projects that focus on addressing health needs among complex populations across the lifespan
The translation of biomedical and health discoveries to application is a long and complex process with high costs and substantial failure rates. The Bridges to Translation funding mechanism invests in novel research ideas to promote collaboration across Penn State to collect information that could lead to external funding to advance health.
