  1. The CTSA at theUniversity of Pennsylvania • Structural background • General approach • New community engagement programs initiated

  2. Spectrum of Clinical Research The diagram below is designed to demonstrate visually the different approaches available in clinical research, relationships among the different approaches, and the relationships among clinical research approaches, bench research, and public health. Clinical Research Patient Oriented Research Translational Research (Proof of Concept) Translational Research (Proof in Practice) Public Health and Bioethics Proof of Concept Animals Large Randomized and Observational Trials Epidemiology Proof of Concept Humans Health Services Research Bench Research This diagram is based on the report written by members of the Clinical Research Roundtable of the Institute of Medicine and published in the March 12, 2003 issue of JAMA.
