Translational research seeks to generate more meaningful, applicable findings that benefit human health outcomes directly. The objective of translational research is to move fundamental scientific discoveries into practice more promptly and efficiently. Translational research can be employed in ecological and global issues studies to address the global disease burden by moving such issues into concrete approaches that safeguard and enhance human health. For example, ecological and global issues research can be employed to mitigate climate change and lessen its implications on our health and the well-being of future generations (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2021). Translational research can also be applied in social determinants of health to reduce global disease burden by influencing health outcomes, particularly amongst the vulnerable population groups. Factors including patient’s income levels, environmental factors, and educational attainment can be moved into practice or take into account when offering care and treatment. Thus, translational research ensures that social determinants of health are applied to enhance well-being, reduce global disease burden, and lower longstanding health care and health disparities (Artiga & Hinton, 2018).
Accordingly, translational research can be app...
