Two additional tools also have been prepared, designed to identify the different approaches used in clinical research, distinguish each from others, and show the relationships among them. The first tool is in the form of a diagram, designed to demonstrate visually the different approaches available in clinical research, relationships among the different approaches, and the relationship between clinical and bench research (Flash Plug-in required.). The second tool provides a definition of translational research and shows potential career paths for members of translational research teams (Flash Plug-in required.).
