 Translation to humans: Developing treatment and interventions

Traditional research Observations (Similarities/Differences)

Methodology

For translational research, animals and individuals or organizations are used to acquire data for
translation to humans. The dependent variables are in close touch with the researcher.

Human subjects are used in quantitative research.

Interviews, surveys, and focus groups are all common approaches.

Researchers are active in the research process in both types of studies by engaging with the study
participants.

In both forms of research, the goal is to identify answers to the issues (Richard I.G. Holt et al.,,
2021)

Goals

The purpose of T1 is to discover cures for diseases.

The medications are created and put through rigorous testing to ensure that they are effective.

Traditional research is frequently conducted in order to provide the research with additional
information about the issue.

Traditional research is supposed to improve the researcher's knowledge of the issue, whereas
translational research is meant to improve future research practice on related subjects.

Data Collection

Clinical findings to check the response of the drugs/treatments on different participants are part
of transformational data collection.

Research participants can be questioned using questionnaires.

Traditional data collection methods include interviews, questionnaires, online surveys, and
telephone interview.

Survey questionnaires and interviews were employed in data collecting in both translational and
quantitative research (Richard I.G. Holt et al.,, 2021).

In traditional research, the respondent offers their perspective of what they feel and think,
however in translational research, the researcher observes the respondents for responses.

Translation to Patients
Traditional research Observations (Similarities/Differences)

Methodology

Giving the treatments to the participants to see how they react throughout time to assess their
efficacy ("Translational Research–Defining the "T's" | Translational Cancer Research Network,"
2020)

The participants in conventional research are also expected to engage in the research study
(Patten & Newhart, 2017).

The participants are the major focus of the study in both cases.

Goals

The purpose is to determine whether or not the study was effective.

The idea is to find fresh knowledge on a topic that already exists.

Traditional research focuses on the method, whereas translational research focuses on the
outcomes.

Data Collection

Translational research entails taking samples from people in order to see how the medications
respond in the body.

Interviewing, sampling, questionnaires, and focus groups are all part of traditional research. The
approaches employed are non-intrusive.

Traditional research techniques do not require personal communication with participants,

whereas translational research data must.

Translation to Practice: Dissemination and implementation research for system-wide

change.

Traditional research Observations (Similarities/Differences)

Methodology

Inquiring with stakeholders concerning the techniques' efficacy ("Translational Research-

Defining the "T's" Translational Cancer Research Network," 2020).

Traditionally, study would concentrate on enhancing a medicine that has already been developed
(Patten & Newhart, 2017). 
Traditional approaches would emphasize on the techniques' impact on the user, whereas
translational research methodology focuses on bringing the technique to market (BRUCE A.
PERKINS et al.,, 2022)

Goals

The objective is to get the therapy concepts into the healthcare system. 

The objective is to see if the medicine or therapy may be improved.

Traditional research is focused on how the therapy works and its effects, whereas translational
research aims to determine the treatment.

Data Collection

Interviewing, questionnaire, and sampling are all used in traditional research.

Interviewing, sampling, questionnaires, and focus groups are all used in translational research.

Both research traditional and translational research types use questionnaires, sampling, and
interviews. Translational research, however, requires samples directly from the subject's body.
