This IGERT project is a multidisciplinary training program addressing two needs that are critical if society is to benefit from technological discoveries: (i) preparation of a professional workforce with the knowledge and skills needed to facilitate innovation, and (ii) research that improves our understanding of how business organizations and economic, regulatory, and legal mechanisms promote or impede the development and diffusion of new technologies. Faculty from the joint Georgia Institute of Technology/Emory University Department of Biomedical Engineering and NSF-Engineering Research Center (ERC) for Engineering of Human Tissues, Manufacturing Research Center, Microelectronics Research Center, Microelectromechanical Systems, and NSF-ERC Packaging Research Center are collaborating with faculty in the Georgia Tech DuPree College of Management, Emory Law School, and Emory Economics Department. Central to the program are teams of NSF-funded PhD students, cost-shared Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Doctor of Jurisprudence students (JD) who participate over a two year period in activities focused on technical, market, and legal issues related to the science and engineering (S&E) students' research. This multidisciplinary team approach is designed to (i) provide S&E students with the skills and multidisciplinary perspective needed to succeed in industry, (ii) produce S&E dissertations of technical merit and market relevance, (iii) facilitate dissertations in management and law & economics that improve our understanding of innovation, and (iv) provide MBAs and JDs with practical experience in a technical research environment. Educational features include two graduate level courses on the Fundamentals of Innovation and a case course developed specifically for this IGERT that all student participants take as a community of students, universities-wide seminar & workshop on Innovation Fundamentals, Intellectual Property Track for the JDs and PhDs in Law & Economics, a Minor in the Management of Innovation for S&E PhDs, a formal mechanism to initiate management and law & economics research at the doctoral level on innovation, internships and frequent interaction with industrial partners, and an annual Doctoral Research Institute on Innovation for graduate students invited from universities nationwide.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the multidisciplinary backgrounds and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In the fifth year of the program, awards are being made to twenty-one institutions for programs that collectively span the areas of science and engineering supported by NSF.

该IGERT项目是一个多学科的培训计划，解决了两个关键的需求，如果社会是从技术发现中受益：（i）准备一个专业的劳动力所需的知识和技能，以促进创新，（ii）研究，提高我们的理解如何商业组织和经济，监管和法律的机制，促进或阻碍新技术的发展和传播。来自联合格鲁吉亚理工学院/埃默里大学生物医学工程系和NSF工程研究中心（ERC）的人类组织工程，制造研究中心，微电子研究中心，微机电系统和NSF-ERC包装研究中心的教师正在与格鲁吉亚理工杜普里管理学院，埃默里法学院和埃默里经济系的教师合作。该计划的核心是NSF资助的博士生团队，成本分摊的工商管理硕士（MBA）和法学博士（JD）学生，他们参加了为期两年的活动，重点是与科学和工程（SE）学生研究有关的技术，市场和法律的问题。这种多学科的团队方法的目的是（一）为SE学生提供在行业中取得成功所需的技能和多学科的观点，（二）产生技术优势和市场相关性的SE论文，（三）促进管理和法律经济学论文，提高我们对创新的理解，以及（四）提供MBA和JD在技术研究环境中的实践经验。教育特色包括两个研究生水平的课程创新的基础和专门为这个IGERT开发的案例课程，所有学生参与者作为学生的社区，大学范围内的研讨会&工作坊创新基础，知识产权轨道的法学博士和法律经济学博士&，未成年人在S E博士的创新管理&，正式机制，启动管理和法律&经济学研究在博士水平的创新，实习和与工业合作伙伴的频繁互动，以及每年一次的博士创新研究所，面向全国大学的研究生。IGERT是一个NSF-广泛的计划，旨在满足教育美国博士的挑战。科学家和工程师与多学科背景和技术，专业和个人技能所需的未来的职业需求。该计划旨在通过建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中促进研究生教育的文化变革。在该计划的第五年，该奖项将颁发给21个机构，这些机构的计划共同跨越了NSF支持的科学和工程领域。
