0438691克莱默这个奖项是给堪萨斯州立大学，以支持下面描述的活动36个月。 该提案是为了响应创新计划征求伙伴关系（NSF-04556）而提交的。合作伙伴合作伙伴包括堪萨斯州立大学（牵头机构）、先进制造研究所（AMI）、农业创新中心（AIC）、生物加工&工业增值计划（BIVAP）、堪萨斯商务部（KDOC）、堪萨斯&中小制造商企业家、堪萨斯科技企业公司（KTEC）、劳伦斯地区技术中心（LRTC）、中美商业化公司（MACC）和增值业务发展计划（VABDP）的主要目标是：1）创建一个结构化的过程，以确定大学知识产权是成熟的发展; 2）建立必要的基础设施，将生物科学相关研究和应用中的知识、发明和发现转化为可行的产品; 3）在整个大学和州内推广这种早期技术开发（ESTD）服务; 4）为未来开发新的生物科学产品和技术做好准备。潜在的经济影响这项活动将为堪萨斯提供总体经济福祉。它将增加对堪萨斯公司的技术转让;刺激堪萨斯以技术为基础的企业的形成并协助其发展;增加推向市场的新产品;并提供对工程资源的访问，大大加快了新的基于生物科学的产品，工艺，该项目的智力价值是同时开发和正式化一个过程，以加速生物科学产品和技术的商业发展，并为以下方面提供有意义的ESTD经验：堪萨斯州未来的技术工程师和企业家。该活动的更广泛的影响集中在为堪萨斯州公民创造财富和高薪就业机会。此外，创建一个对技术创造者/发明者和接受者都有利的示范过程，将刺激公司和大学实验室中的知识产权转化为商业产品。本科生和研究生都将参与并接受商业化活动的教育，因此，堪萨斯未来技术企业家将学习如何定义和实施成功的生物科学ESTD项目。

0438691KramerThis award is to Kansas State University to support the activity described below for 36 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF-04556).PartnersThe partners include Kansas State University (Lead Institution), Advanced Manufacturing Institute (AMI), Agricultural Innovation Center (AIC), Bioprocessing & Industrial Value-Added Program (BIVAP), Kansas Department of Commerce (KDOC), Kansas Entrepreneurs & Small to Medium-Sized Manufacturers, Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation (KTEC), Lawrence Regional Technology Center (LRTC), Mid-America Commercialization Corporation (MACC), and Value-Added Business Development Program (VABDP).The primary objectives are: 1) create a structured process to identify universityintellectual property that is ripe for development; 2) create the infrastructure needed to transformknowledge, inventions, and discoveries in bioscience-related research and applications into viableproducts; 3) market this Early Stage Technology Development (ESTD) service throughout the universityand state; and 4) prepare a future workforce to develop new bioscience products and technologies.Potential Economic ImpactThis activity will provide general economic well being in Kansas. It will increase the transfer of technologies to Kansas companies; stimulate the formation of and assist the development of technology-based businesses in Kansas; increase new products brought to market; and provide access to an engineering resource that significantly accelerates the development and hardening of new bioscience-based products, processes, and technologies in Kansas.The intellectual merit of the project is to simultaneously develop and formalize a process to accelerate thecommercial development of bioscience products and technologies and provide meaningful ESTDexperience to Kansas's future technology engineers and entrepreneurs.The broader impacts of the activity concentrate on the creation of wealth and high-paying jobs for the citizens of Kansas. In addition, creating a model process that benefits both thetechnology creator/inventor and the recipient will stimulate transformation of intellectual property createdin both company and university laboratories into commercial products. Both undergraduate and graduatestudents will be involved and educated about commercialization activities and thus, Kansas futuretechnology entrepreneurs will learn to define and conduct successful bioscience ESTD projects.
