We present a vision of clinical science, based on a conceptual framework of intervention development endorsed by the Delaware Project. This framework is grounded in an updated stage model that incorporates basic science questions of mechanisms into every stage of clinical science research. The vision presented is intended to unify various aspects of clinical science toward the common goal of developing maximally potent and implementable interventions, while unveiling new avenues of science in which basic and applied goals are of equally high importance. Training in this integrated, translational model may help students learn how to conduct research in every domain of clinical science and at each stage of intervention development. This vision aims to propel the field to fulfill the public health goal of producing implementable and effective treatment and prevention interventions.

Behavior Change Techniques and Their Mechanisms of Action: A Synthesis of Links Described in Published Intervention Literature (2018, background): “…their effects, through identification of the links between behavior change techniques (BCTs) and the MoAs they target,  Susan Michie s.michie@ucl.ac.uk would enable us to (i) design interventions that include components more likely to be effective [6] and (ii) better explain intervention effects.”
Improving Methodological Standards in Behavioral Interventions for Cognitive Enhancement (2019, background): “…model proposed by the NIH discusses the need for studies that target implementation and dissemination (i.e., determining what steps and/or procedures are most useful in ensuring that scientifically validated interventions come into common use among real-world practitioners; Onken et al. 2014).”
Mind The Hype: A Critical Evaluation and Prescriptive Agenda for Research on Mindfulness and Meditation (2017, neutral): “Dimidjian and Segal (2015) estimate, using the NIH stage model for clinical science (Onken, Carroll, Shoham, Cuthbert, & Riddle, 2014), that only 30% of research using mind-fulness-based interventions (MBIs) has moved beyond Stage 1 (intervention generation/refinement).”
What defines mindfulness-based programs? The warp and the weft (2016, neutral): “In this editorial we focus on a critical underpinning issue throughout the Stage Model – namely the ﬁ delity/integrity of the intervention itself.”
