The Types of Research diagram illustrates the particular research methodology used by the scientist.
Bench Science involves experiments being performed in a controlled laboratory setting.
Animal Models is where science is conducted using animals, such as rats or mice, for safety reasons.
Once the science is clear and well-supported, clinical trials can begin. Clinical trials refer to scientific experiments that involve human beings.
Community-engaged research refers to science that actively involves community members in the research process.
Community-led Science category refers to community members identifying a problem and reaching out to researchers to conduct science and answer questions in partnership. Community members lead the direction of the science to answer research questions and identify solutions that impact their own communities.
