Models for Better Academic-Industrial Partnerships to Create Value from Concepts

0090523科恩该奖项授予罗格斯大学，以支持下文所述的活动36个月。该提案是应创新伙伴关系计划(NSF 0082)的邀请而提交的。合作伙伴是罗格斯大学、新泽西医学和牙科大学、新泽西理工学院；新泽西生物材料中心，其中包括15个行业成员。建议的活动包括实施和评估更好的学术-产业伙伴关系模式；改进创新过程的商业评估和规划工具；从工业部门未充分利用的知识产权开发适销对路的技术；从商学院创业计划和公共政策部门聘请教师；对研究生进行创新和创业教育。建议的创新创新的目标是实施和评估更好的创新模式，包括技术支持伙伴关系(TEP)和虚拟研究组织(VRO)。TEP模式是通过改进商业评估和规划，更有效地利用学术部门内不发达的知识产权。VRO是通过与学术界的新颖互动，从工业部门未得到充分利用的知识产权开发适销对路的技术。商学院和公共政策部门以及学术界的科学和工程部门都参加了这次活动。企业和政府机构用他们的传统优势完成了伙伴关系。这些模型及其评估将通过正常渠道和公共创新工作室进行传播。潜在的经济影响研究生教育形式的劳动力创新需求将为生物材料部门的创新提供基础设施。将对这些模型进行评估，并将传播结果。任何商业企业从商业化活动中也将产生经济影响。潜在的社会影响生物材料有许多对医学和公众健康具有重要意义的应用。此外，科技行业的新工作岗位将是新泽西州的一项福利。

0090523 Kohn This award is to Rutgers University to support the activity described below for 36 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF 0082).PartnersThe partners are Rutgers University; University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, New Jersey Institute of Technology; New Jersey Center for Biomaterials, which includes 15 industrial members.Proposed ActivitiesThe activities in this award include implementation and evaluation of better models for academic-industrial partnerships; improved business assessment and planning tools for the innovation process; development of marketable technology from underutilized intellectual property within the industrial sector; engage faculty from business school entrepreneurship programs and public policy departments; education of graduate students in innovation and entrepreneurship.Proposed InnovationThe innovation goals are the implementation and evaluation of better models for innovation including Technology Enablement Partnership (TEP) and Virtual Research Organization (VRO). TEP model is for more efficient utilization of underdeveloped intellectual property within the academic sector by improved business assessment and planning. VRO is for development of marketable technology from underutilized intellectual property within the industrial sector by novel interactions with academia. Business schools and public policy departments are participating, as well as scientific and engineering departments from academia. Business and government agencies complete the partnerships with their traditional strengths. The models and their evaluations will be disseminated through normal channels plus a public Innovation Workshop.Potential Economic ImpactWorkforce needs for innovation in the form of graduate student education will provide the infrastructure to enable innovation in the biomaterials sector. The models will be evaluated and the results will be disseminated. Any business enterprises from the commercialization activities will also have economic impact.Potential Societal ImpactBiomaterials have many applications that will be important to medicine and public health. In addition, new jobs in the technology sector will be a benefit in New Jersey.
