An Innovative Framework
Roadblocks in the Translational Science (TS) pipeline are complex, abundant and embedded in systems of interrelated processes and people. MICHR applies a systematic and practical process to inform optimal TS investments and efficient realization of solutions.
PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDED FRAMEWORK DESIGN
Solve TS problems that matter most to people
Assess TS problems within the dynamics of their systems and identify leverage points for change
Ensure the right people and viewpoints help solve IS problems
Create meaningful TS solutions people want to use
Create solutions that benefit the systems and people within them
Work efficiently to build and test innovative solutions
NOTABLE FEATURES OF THE FRAMEWORK
Process is agnostic of the problem under investigation
Leverages strategies and methods from the fields of Design and Systems Thinking
Non-linear and iterative; the numbers shown with each phase are a general guide, but insights generated from each step inform where to move next
Both novice and experienced implementers will feel comfortable with the range of methods associated with each phase
The speed with which the framework is implemented is flexible
