The Science Translation Foundation

Mission The mission of the Science Translation Foundation is to help create healthier individuals, families, communities, and institutions by improving access to and understanding of scientific information. Vision We envision a world in which better-informed stakeholders make evidence-based decisions in support of health and well-being. Values Our values encompass scientific independence and integrity, excellence, and funder/donor accountability. History The Science Translation Foundation (STF) is a reimagining of a previous nonprofit organization, which in April 2024 completed its call to action to combat misinformation and advance scientific understanding on COVID-19 through simplified content and messaging. While our mission remains unchanged, our scope has been expanded to include new services that are certain to provide novel public benefit to a broader range of organizations and stakeholders. Scope We view our role in science translation as a response to three critical challenges in the continuum of evidence: how to transform data into meaningful evidence, harness evidence to design and implement impactful action, and evaluate action to assure meaningful outcomes. Data into Evidence: Through rigorous data analysis, we illuminate hidden patterns and insights essential for informed decision-making. Evidence into Action: By designing and implementing targeted interventions, we bridge the gap between applied research and practical application. Action into Outcomes: Via comprehensive evaluation processes, we measure the effectiveness of interventions, ensuring that they deliver tangible benefits to stakeholders and drive evidence-based policy.
