Excerpt

Basic research to understand the mechanisms of normal human functioning has been called “the engine of discovery,” driving innovation and underlying many therapeutic breakthroughs. But in order for basic research findings to inform therapeutic interventions, those findings need to be translated and tested in a clinical context. The challenges of translating basic findings into clinical care are well documented, including in the high-profile 2001 Institute of Medicine report that described the “quality chasm” between scientific knowledge and quality clinical care [1]. …
