Funds the development of innovative solutions to scientific and operational roadblocks in translational research.

What's the difference between translational research and translational science?

The following table illustrates the key differences between translational research and translational science::

Category	Translational Research	>Translational Science
Primary focus	Advances work on a specific disease, target, or intervention	Improves the overall translational process across diseases
Main goal	Move a particular discovery toward practice or improved patient outcomes	Identify causes of inefficiency and develop broadly applicable solutions
Key questions	How do we advance *this* intervention for *this* population?	How do we improve the translational pipeline for *all* research?
Outputs	Findings relevant to one disease or condition	Methods, tools, or principles that apply across many studies
Who benefits	Patients, clinicians, and researchers working on the specific condition	Researchers and institutions engaged in translational research broadly
