Facilitating stakeholder engagement in early stage translational research.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Stakeholder engagement can play an important role in increasing public trust and the understanding of scientific research and its impact. Frameworks for stakeholder identification exist, but these frameworks may not apply well to basic science and early stage translational research.

Methods

Four Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs led six focus groups and two semi-structured interviews using a semi-structured discussion guide to learn from basic science researchers about stakeholder engagement in their work. The 24 participants represented fourteen clinical and academic disciplines.

Results

Early stage translational researchers reported engagement with a broad array of stakeholders. Those whose research has a clinical focus reported worki
