Preferred Practices Initiative
There are two emerging trends of direct relevance to this initiative. Within the research community, increasing attention is being paid to "translational research"; investigations that apply the findings of basic research to the development and evaluation of new interventions for real-world, naturalistic settings. The second, related field is that of "knowledge transfer" or "knowledge brokering": the use of scientific knowledge generated through research in shaping policy and program development and organizational decision-making processes and practices.
