Project description:Science funders are increasingly requiring evidence of the broader impacts of even basic research. Initiatives such as NIH's CTSA program are designed to shift the research focus toward more translational research. However, tracking the effectiveness of such programs depends on developing indicators that can track the degree to which basic research is influencing clinical research. We propose a new bibliometric indicator, the TS score, that is relatively simple to calculate, can be implemented at scale, is easy to replicate, and has good reliability and validity properties. This indicator is broadly applicable in settings where the goal is to estimate the degree to which basic research is used in more applied downstream research, relative to use in basic research. The TS score should be of use for a variety of policy analysis and research evaluation purposes.

Nanotechnologies for biomedical science and translational medicine.

Project description:In 2000 the United States launched the National Nanotechnology Initiative and, along with it, a well-defined set of goals for nanomedicine. This Perspective looks back at the progress made toward those goals, within the context of the changing landscape in biomedicine that has occurred over the past 15 years, and considers advances that are likely to occur during the next decade. In particular, nanotechnologies for health-related genomics and single-cell biology, inorganic and organic nanoparticles for biomedicine, and wearable nanotechnologies for wellness monitoring are briefly covered.
