Meta Analysis:

Metasynthesis:
A small scale study, or trial run, done in preparation for a major study, often to assess feasibility
Pilot Test:
Systematic efforts to improve practices and processes within a specific organization or patient group
Quality Improvement (QI):
The use of some aspect of a study in an application unrelated to the original research
Research Utilization (RU):
A rigorous synthesis of research findings no a particular research question, using systematic sampling and data collection procedures and a formal protocol
