Abstract Submission Form – Research Day 2026

Basic, foundational, and pre-clinical research: Research that is directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts in order build theory and knowledge to inform practice. It includes all scientific study and experimentation directed toward a topic or area that has not been clearly identified or explored. This includes bench/basic sciences, methodological innovations, and research that improves our understanding of underlying mechanisms. Applied, Clinical, Community – Research to identify practical solutions to health challenges and needs. Solutions may include interventions, the development of tools for practice, or the evaluation of existing processes and practices. Clinical database evaluations and studies involved IRBs often fall into this category. The process of applied research is often referred to as a scientific process because it uses the practical application of the available scientific tools to get to the determined solutions.
