Translational science, which translates innovation into practice and scale for large populations, also requires a strong role from government, Joel Cantor said.
“So that the money flows in the right way and the regulations are in place to facilitate, uptick and disseminate innovation,” Cantor, professor of public policy and founding director of the Center for State Health Policy at Rutgers University, said. “So that all the work we collectively do to invent good stuff and get it into practice does not simply hit a wall.”
