DESCRIPTION
The Translational Science Benefits Model (TSBM) is a framework for assessing the health and societal benefits of clinical and translational science. The framework was developed by a cross-disciplinary team including members of the Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS), Bernard Becker Medical Library at Washington University School of Medicine, and the Center for Public Health Systems Science at the Brown School at Washington University.
The TSBM can help researchers, administrators and policymakers measure the impact of their work in four distinct domains: CLINICAL, COMMUNITY, ECONOMIC, and POLICY.
