Introduction to Research Translation
What is research translation?
Research translation involves addressing unmet needs and real-word problems. Research translation involves the transfer of knowledge, creative work, disoveries, and even inventions, from the University, out into society. Research translation is user-focused. End-users and stakeholders are considered throughout project development and execution and through every milestone and goal.
If you are a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or faculty researcher here at MSU, we encourage you to explore the ways in which your ideas can impact society.
What research areas are best for translation?
All of them. Research translation doesn't always mean commercializing a technology. We aim to support societal impact of all types of work being done at MSU! Every discipline and academic area of research qualifies for translation.
