Translational research vs p-hacking

When is it warranted to act before the evidence is fully established?

Research is better at uncovering new questions than proving answers.

The idea of taking abstract research and applying it in practice and community is called translational research.

We are translating research into practice.

We are reducing the time between scientific discoveries and implementation in patient care, and then from small-scale patient care to community-wide applications and public health policy.

It is also sometimes called experimental medicine, or implementation science.
