"Translational research is part of a unidirectional continuum in which research findings are
moved from the researcher’s bench to the patient’s bedside and community. In the
continuum, the first stage of translational research (T1) transfers knowledge from
basic research to clinical research, and the second stage (T2) transfers findings from
clinical studies or clinical trials to practice settings and communities, where the
findings improve health." (Rubio et al., 2010, p. 470)
