1
00:00:00,533 --> 00:00:07,874
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:07,874 --> 00:00:08,942
- TSBM stands for

3
00:00:08,942 --> 00:00:11,811
the Translational Science
Benefits Model.

4
00:00:11,811 --> 00:00:15,015
TSBM is a model that
people can use to show

5
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:17,150
the impact of the research
that they're doing.

6
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:19,719
Impact is the real world change they see

7
00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:21,721
as a result of the work that they've done.

8
00:00:21,721 --> 00:00:26,593
- The TSBM was designed to
help us provide a framework

9
00:00:26,593 --> 00:00:31,297
for talking about and measuring benefits.

10
00:00:31,297 --> 00:00:35,135
These benefits, we group them
into four main categories,

11
00:00:35,135 --> 00:00:38,538
so there's lots of benefits
in clinical settings.

12
00:00:38,538 --> 00:00:41,408
Second kind of benefits
are in the community,

13
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:43,309
in particular, public health.

14
00:00:43,309 --> 00:00:46,246
The third kind of benefit is economic,

15
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:49,649
and then finally the fourth
benefit are policy benefits.

16
00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:52,252
So these are things where better policies,

17
00:00:52,252 --> 00:00:55,855
better regulation can
come out of research.

18
00:00:55,855 --> 00:00:58,458
- The TSBM came out in 2018.

19
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:00,727
The team that worked on that
realized they really needed

20
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:03,997
this toolkit that researchers
could use to apply the model.

21
00:01:03,997 --> 00:01:07,400
So they came up with the
Translating for Impact toolkit.

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,903
It's online, it's on
our website. It's free.

23
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:11,371
Anyone can go on and use it.

24
00:01:11,371 --> 00:01:14,507
You can make an account so
you can share with partners

25
00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:16,943
as you're using the tools
and filling them out.

26
00:01:16,943 --> 00:01:20,713
- We developed the TSBM as part
of the Institute of Clinical

27
00:01:20,713 --> 00:01:23,283
and Translational Sciences here at WashU.

28
00:01:23,283 --> 00:01:27,253
We have applied the TSBM recently

29
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:29,756
to a number of areas
related to cancer research.

30
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:32,692
In particular, we've worked
with colleagues here at WashU

31
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:35,595
in the Implementation Science
Center for Cancer Control

32
00:01:35,595 --> 00:01:37,163
to develop case studies

33
00:01:37,163 --> 00:01:41,234
and case studies are really
just short stories, almost,

34
00:01:41,234 --> 00:01:44,604
in terms of why their work is important

35
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:47,507
and what kind of impact
does their work have,

36
00:01:47,507 --> 00:01:50,310
and they all use the TSBM framework

37
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:53,713
to show those kinds of impacts.

38
00:01:53,713 --> 00:01:56,883
- My collaboration with TSBM started,

39
00:01:56,883 --> 00:01:59,052
I will say probably two years ago.

40
00:01:59,052 --> 00:02:03,189
This case study report, a new
technology that we invented.

41
00:02:03,189 --> 00:02:05,658
It's called Sonobiopsy.

42
00:02:05,658 --> 00:02:11,564
It uses ultrasound to enhance
blood test of brain diseases,

43
00:02:11,564 --> 00:02:14,467
specifically we focus on brain cancer.

44
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:19,272
One of the critical seed
fund was actually from ICTS.

45
00:02:19,272 --> 00:02:20,473
The pilot fund was critical for us

46
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:23,409
to take on this risky project

47
00:02:23,409 --> 00:02:25,178
and then move it forward,

48
00:02:25,178 --> 00:02:28,915
eventually receive
federal funding from NIH.

49
00:02:28,915 --> 00:02:32,685
(upbeat music)

50
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:34,554
- There's many benefits,
I think, to using TSBM,

51
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:36,456
first and foremost is
going through the process

52
00:02:36,456 --> 00:02:40,493
of how to speak in a way
that is more understandable

53
00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:41,528
for the lay person.

54
00:02:41,528 --> 00:02:44,430
I think that can be like kind
of the hardest part first.

55
00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:47,734
- TSBM help us to build the bridge

56
00:02:47,734 --> 00:02:50,303
between the scientific
work that we do in the lab

57
00:02:50,303 --> 00:02:53,173
and the community that we want to reach

58
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:56,109
because it's written in a plain language

59
00:02:56,109 --> 00:02:59,779
that people without scientific
background can understand

60
00:02:59,779 --> 00:03:01,948
what we're doing.

61
00:03:01,948 --> 00:03:03,516
- We were really at the right
place in the right time,

62
00:03:03,516 --> 00:03:06,286
when we started developing the TSBM.

63
00:03:06,286 --> 00:03:11,658
We have been so thrilled at
how visible and how popular

64
00:03:11,658 --> 00:03:14,127
and how many people have adopted it.

65
00:03:14,127 --> 00:03:17,664
A couple years ago, Indiana
University did an evaluation

66
00:03:17,664 --> 00:03:20,099
and they were able to show

67
00:03:20,099 --> 00:03:23,403
that over two thirds of the CTSAs

68
00:03:23,403 --> 00:03:25,104
around the entire United States

69
00:03:25,104 --> 00:03:27,473
were using the TSBM in
their own evaluation.

70
00:03:27,473 --> 00:03:29,976
Far more than any other
evaluation framework.

71
00:03:29,976 --> 00:03:31,978
We just never anticipated

72
00:03:31,978 --> 00:03:35,014
that this would be such a
useful tool for so many people.

73
00:03:35,014 --> 00:03:43,056
