I-Corps EAGER: UC Biomedical Research Acceleration, Integration, and Development (UC BRAID/CAI) I-Corps Hub Proposal

该提案寻求对加州大学生物医学研究加速、集成和开发(UC Braid/CAI)i-Corps Hub联盟的支持，该联盟是加州大学医学院之间的协调努力，目标是促进加州大学生物医学研究加速、整合和开发(UC Braid/CAI)有前景的技术。这些校区包括：戴维斯、欧文、洛杉矶、圣地亚哥和旧金山。该计划将实施培训和教育课程，以利用加州大学洛杉矶分校的加州大学加速创新中心(UC CAI)的基础设施，以及NSF批准的有限合伙人课程-通过访问帮助起草最初的生命科学/医疗精益启动平台(由加州大学旧金山分校主办)的经验和知识，在加州大学辫子校区培训企业家。该课程将提供现实世界中的实践教育和培训，了解创办一家可扩展的公司所需的条件。I-Corps中心将利用UC CAI的培训和教育重点，并能够提供：1)世界级的科学和临床研究，产生潜在的商业化边缘的技术流；2)在NSF i-Corps生命科学/医疗保健教育方面的领先地位，将帮助向其组成部分的校园提供强大的产品；3)利用UC CAI建立的基础设施，在UC校园(以及跨部门和学校)提供教育和培训组件，以吸引各级企业家；以及4)强大和成熟的课程，鼓励创业、建立网络、跨学科团队建设以及为所有感兴趣的企业家提供世界级的教学和指导。

The proposal seeks support for a UC Biomedical Research Acceleration, Integration, and Development (UC BRAID/CAI) I-Corps Hub consortium, a coordinated effort among the UC medical campuses with the goal of facilitating translation and accelerating promising technologies at the UCs. The campuses include: Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. The program will implement a training and education curriculum in order to train entrepreneurs on the UC BRAID campuses by leveraging the infrastructure of the UC Center for Accelerated Innovation (UC CAI) housed at UCLA, along with the NSF-approved LLP curriculum - through accessing the experience and knowledge that helped draft the initial Lean Launch Pad for Life Science/Healthcare (that was hosted by UCSF). The course will provide real world, hands-on education and training on what it is needed to start a scalable company. The I-Corps Hub will leverage UC CAI's training and education emphasis and be able to provide: 1) world-class scientific and clinical research that generates a flow of technologies which are potentially on the brink of commercialization; 2) leadership in NSF I-Corps education for life science/healthcare that will help deliver a strong offering to its component campuses; 3) utilization of the infrastructure built by the UC CAI to deliver education and training components across the UC campuses (as well as across departments and schools) to attract entrepreneurs at all levels; and 4) robust and proven curriculum that encourages entrepreneurship, networking, interdisciplinary team building and world-class teaching and mentorship to all levels of interested entrepreneurs.
