Abstract | A translational research method to be carried out in Nigeria, whilst still living in Australia. The proposal projected some key performance indices, while policy recommendations for clinical service improvement constitute the ultimate goal. The objective of this case report is to provide experiential note for prospective independent translational researchers in healthcare, especially those who already have ideas without funds. This report has adopted a narrative approach and was based on a 6-years review of the research program. The narrative review included a narration of research program planning, implementation and evaluation. Focus of review was on premise of what went well and plans that could be done differently; as well as challenges. An implementation plan that went well is integration of higher degree research students. Target key performance indices are being achieved e.g. diabetes screening has been occurring 6-years in a row, diabetes registers and clients’ network are being established in four health facilities. Main challenges were academic support base for academic research, financial resources, team building, establishing non-academic support base of healthcare practitioners and ethical clearance, especially as it is a translational agenda. This case report presents the success stories of the project plan, especially on the methods of establishing collaboration as well as how challenges were navigated during the implementation stage. A SWOT analysis is presented to highlight opportunities for success despite threatening challenges. |
