Translational Scientific Research is generally described as the process of applying ideas, insights, and discoveries generated through basic knowledge inquiry to the treatment or prevention of disease or injury: The value of Translational Scientific Research is usually determined on the basis of the likelihood that completion of exploratory or developmental research objectives will move towards effective objectives.
The most important aspect of Translational Research is the working from the laboratory to the clinic, and from the clinic back to the laboratory.
Translational Scientific Research is, therefore, an inherently collaborative and interdisciplinary area of medical research.

scientific method
A set of principles and procedures for systematic study, introduced primarily by Galileo Galilei, and still used in the modern sciences.
The scientific method consists of four essential parts:
- The statement of a problem to be studied.
- The gathering of scientific data through observation and experimentation.
- The formulation of hypotheses or theories.
- The testing of those hypotheses.
The results of testing may lead to a restatement of the problem, or an entirely new problem to be analyzed, which starts the process over again.
