T0—discovery of opportunities to address health problems through technologic advances, surveillance, outbreak investigation, and epidemiologic studies.

T2—assess the value of the candidate interventions, leading to the development of evidence-based recommendations.

T4—evaluate the "real world" health impact of population-level health practice.
