Taking the Translational Science Benefits Model from concept to operationalization: opportunities and challenges in defining impact using the Translational Science Benefits Model.

ABSTRACT: The Translational Science Benefits Model (TSBM) was developed to conceptualize and communicate the benefits and impact of translational research. While the TSBM was developed as a conceptual model rather than an operational process, it can be integrated into operational processes to provide evidence and clearly explain the impact of translational research and translational science. This paper discusses the use of the TSBM not only as a conceptual framework but also as a program-integrated operational mechanism. First, it discusses three TSBM-informed programmatic processes for addressing intended and achieved impact: case studies, Pilots program reporting, and an organizational database. Then, it outlines the key factors emerging from these processes that should be considered before employ
