Translation research often involves the coordination of three domains, each with its own set of demands and constraints: the funding sector (both federal and foundation) community partners, and the academic organizations to which many of us belong. What do you see as the unique challenges in working with these domains in the pursuit of translational research? What suggestions would you offer to help bridge these challenges?
What are potential future directions for NIDDK’s Translational Research Program?
