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.

托莱多大学建议在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创新合作伙伴关系（PFI）授予者研讨会。该研讨会是PFI的第一个研讨会。它的目的是为由NSF赞助的研究人员全面聚会提供一个论坛，并由Innerovation（PFI）计划支持的主动奖项和毕业奖项。此外，对于每个奖项，该论坛应包括来自非学术合作伙伴的代表，并且仅对于目前持续的PFI奖项，是来自该项目的学生中的代表。研讨会的目标是分享来自NSF赞助的PFI奖项获得的想法，经验，最佳实践和结果；一旦PFI赠款绩效期结束，就讨论创新可持续性的策略和成就；并为未来合作伙伴关系项目的设计和解剖结构提供意见。预计这种交换将有助于探索正在进行的项目中要采取的下一步步骤，并将促进未来的合作，从而解决几个目标：催化或增强长期促进和维持创新所必需的基础设施；为促进创新经济的地区和组织提供指导；并为美国创造机会，以有意义地促进技术，教育和科学（美国竞争）法案。 该项目的智力优点在于，关于创新合作伙伴关系的形成和发展的新思想，从集体智慧的领导智能中，以各种方式与之交往的背景下，以各种方式交往。研讨会将为NSF提供有关发现过程可以转化为学习和创新以创造财富和改善人类状况的方式的其他信息。在海报会议，突破会议和全体会议期间的讨论以及在PFI社区丰富资源的背景下出现的整个机会中的讨论中，产生的想法产生。通过会议网站提供非常简短但重要的项目重点，也将促进受赠人之间的协同作用。 该项目的更广泛影响包括识别通过合作伙伴关系鼓励长期创造和创新的因素。由于PFI奖的一部分是其主要的重点劳动力教育和培训，因此在与课程开发有关的PFI合作伙伴关系的影响方面将有足够的分享； STEM教育和教育有助于企业家企业的知识；以及学生的职业道路。该项目还将提供有关如何在R＆D支出，大学研究，文化和其他因素方面差异的不同地理环境中如何促进创新的信息。
