Cornell Translational Research Summer Institute

Our CTRSI offers you intensive training, discussion and reflection on conducting research in real-world settings. Join us to learn how to conduct research through community partnerships that will inform real-world practices and decisions.

What is translational research?

The process of translational research connects researchers with practitioners, policymakers and/or community members to create better research, policies, programs and practices. Researchers leverage the knowledge of these partners to better inform their research and, together, they mobilize this knowledge to influence policy changes, program updates, new community services, etc.

What is the Cornell Translational Research Summer Institute?

The Bronfenbrenner Center has developed extensive expertise in conducting research in real-world settings and translating empirical findings into practice and we’re sharing this expertise with you!

You’ll spend two days on campus with faculty who have diverse translational research backgrounds. They will provide you with intensive training, discussion and reflection on developing successful partnerships for conducting research in real-world settings, like service agencies, healthcare institutions, and community organizations.

You’ll learn core principles and practices as well as solutions to key challenges researchers face in doing translational research. You’ll also be provided general tips, tools and techniques you can apply as you prepare for your own translational research journey. In addition, you’ll connect with a cohort of peer scholars who are persuing translational research projects. 

Who should attend?

This is ideal for early-career researchers (including advanced graduate students and postdocs) interested in conducting research in real-world settings and for established investigators who wish to develop expertise in conducting research with communities, agencies and organizations.
