A peer-reviewed, expert-curated collection of articles on the Translational Science Benefits Model has been published by the journal Frontiers in Public Health. The model — which was developed by researchers at WashU Public Health’s Center for Public Health Systems Science (CPHSS) in collaboration with colleagues at Becker Medical Library and the WashU Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences — is a framework designed to help public health and clinical scientists demonstrate the impact of their work in the real world.
