Investigator-Initiated Research Translation

Investigator-Initiated Research Translation

Investigator-initiated research translation included efforts by researchers to communicate their findings in ways that go beyond typical academic communications like peer-reviewed journal articles and scientific conference presentations. Each research group within the Superfund Research Program worked with the research translation core to develop a plan for translation that identifies target audiences, key messages and strategic avenues for communication.

Below are summaries of investigator-initiated research translation goals and activities for each of the UW SRP's four projects.
