Paradigm The framework of research activity adopted at Hamilton Health Sciences focuses on a view of the research process that is dependent on interaction between fundamental, translational, clinical, knowledge transfer and health services research platforms. While in reality, there are many overlaps and intersections, adopting this model helps clarify where individual research projects best fit within the research themes that are identified as areas of focus. In addition, this paradigm assists with describing the key strategic benefits derived from researchers interacting to pose better or more relevant questions within a research theme.
