The University of Toledo proposes to organize and manage the 2008 NSF Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) Grantees Workshop at the Westin Hotel, Arlington, VA, March 30-April 1, 2008. This workshop is the first of its kind for PFI. Its purpose is to provide a forum for a comprehensive gathering of NSF-sponsored researchers on both active and graduated awards supported by the Partnership for Innovation (PFI) Program. In addition, for each award, the forum should include a representative from among the non-academic partners and, for currently ongoing PFI awards only, a representative from among the students involved in the project. The objectives of the workshop are to share ideas, experiences, lessons learned, best practices, and results that have come out of the NSF-sponsored PFI awards; to discuss strategies and achievements with respect to sustainability of innovation once the PFI grant performance period has ended; and to provide input for the design and anatomy of future partnerships projects. It is expected that this interchange will facilitate the exploration of next steps to be taken on ongoing projects and that it will promote future collaborations, thus addressing several goals: catalyzing or enhancing the enabling infrastructure necessary to foster and sustain innovation in the long-term; providing guidance to regions and organizations in promoting innovation economies; and contributing to the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education and Science (America COMPETES) Act. The intellectual merit of this project lies in the generation of new ideas about the formation and ongoing development of innovation partnerships from the collective wisdom of the leadership of a diverse set of funded partnership projects in the context of an opportunity to mingle in a variety of ways. The workshop will provide the NSF with additional information on ways that the discovery process can be translated to learning and innovation to create wealth and improve the human condition. The generation of ideas can result from discussions during poster sessions, breakout sessions, and plenary sessions and indeed throughout the opportunity to be present in the context of the rich resource of the PFI community. The synergy among grantees will also be facilitated by providing very brief but key project highlights via the conference website. The broader impact of this project includes the identification of factors that encourage long-term value creation and innovation through partnerships. Because a portion of the PFI awards have as their primary focus workforce education and training, there will be ample sharing of the impact of PFI partnerships as they relate to curriculum development; STEM education and education contributing to knowledge of the entrepreneurial enterprise; and the career paths of students. The project will also provide information on how innovation can be promoted across different geographic locales given regional differences in R&D spending, university research, culture and other factors.

托莱多大学提议于2008年3月30日至4月1日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的威斯汀酒店组织和管理2008年NSF创新伙伴关系（PFI）受助者研讨会。该研讨会是PFI的第一次此类研讨会。它的目的是提供一个论坛，为NSF赞助的研究人员提供一个全面的聚会，讨论由创新伙伴关系（PFI）计划支持的积极和毕业的奖项。此外，对于每个奖项，论坛应包括一名非学术合作伙伴的代表，对于目前正在进行的PFI奖项，还应包括一名参与项目的学生代表。研讨会的目的是分享想法，经验，教训，最佳实践和成果，已经出来的NSF赞助的PFI奖;讨论战略和成就方面的创新可持续性一旦PFI赠款执行期已经结束;并提供输入的设计和解剖未来的伙伴关系项目。预计这一交流将有助于探讨对正在进行的项目采取的下一步措施，并将促进未来的合作，从而实现以下几个目标：促进或加强长期促进和维持创新所需的扶持性基础设施;为各区域和组织促进创新经济提供指导;美国创造机会，有意义地促进卓越的技术，教育和科学（美国竞争）法案。 该项目的智力价值在于，在有机会以各种方式相互融合的背景下，从一系列不同的受资助伙伴关系项目的领导集体智慧中，产生了关于创新伙伴关系的形成和持续发展的新想法。该研讨会将为NSF提供有关如何将发现过程转化为学习和创新以创造财富和改善人类状况的更多信息。在海报会议、分组会议和全体会议期间的讨论中，以及在PFI社区丰富资源的背景下，可以产生想法。还将通过会议网站提供非常简短但关键的项目要点，促进受赠方之间的协同作用。 这一项目的更广泛影响包括确定通过伙伴关系鼓励长期价值创造和创新的因素。由于部分PFI奖项的主要重点是劳动力教育和培训，因此将充分分享PFI伙伴关系的影响，因为它们与课程开发有关; STEM教育和教育有助于创业企业的知识;以及学生的职业道路。该项目还将提供信息，说明鉴于研发支出、大学研究、文化和其他因素的区域差异，如何在不同的地理区域促进创新。
