Higher education offerings in entrepreneurship education (EE) at the undergraduate and graduate levels have outpaced efforts to inventory them, let alone outpaced agreement on objectives and development of evidence-based curriculum content and teaching and student evaluation methods. The project will convene faculty and administrators, innovation and education scholars, and entrepreneurs and investors to review the variety of contemporary approaches, develop a greater consensus concerning the functions of entrepreneurship education, identify opportunities for evaluation, and recommend methods for research, including cross-institution research. Although the project does not itself entail empirical research and data collection, a clearer articulation of objectives will enable the statement of testable hypotheses regarding the elements of curriculum, teaching methods, and performance evaluation that do and do not contribute to various student outcomes. The project also has the potential to inform student expectations and choices among institutions, programs, concentrations, and courses as well as institutional decisions about academic offerings, staffing, and provision of ancillary services such as prototype development, enterprise incubation, and start-up financing. Evidence-based individual and institutional decisions should contribute to policies to promote more vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem.The two-stage project will begin with the formation of a Task Force on Entrepreneurship Education and Research comprised of innovation and higher education scholars who will review current offerings, examine any evidence of the effectiveness of curriculum elements and teaching methods, and recommend research approaches. The Task Force will develop a set of conclusions and proposals for consideration by a conference whose participants include administrators, entrepreneurs, investors, selected students, and a few principals from non-US institutions

本科生和研究生阶段的高等教育提供的创业教育（EE）已经超过了清点的努力，更不用说超过了就目标和循证课程内容以及教学和学生评估方法的发展达成一致的速度。 该项目将召集教师和管理人员、创新和教育学者、企业家和投资者，审查当代的各种方法，就创业教育的功能达成更大的共识，确定评估机会，并推荐研究方法，包括跨机构研究。 尽管该项目本身并不需要实证研究和数据收集，但更清晰地阐明目标将能够就课程要素、教学方法和绩效评估提出可检验的假设，这些假设对各种学生的成绩有贡献或无贡献。 该项目还有可能告知学生对机构、项目、专业和课程的期望和选择，以及有关学术产品、人员配置和原型开发、企业孵化和初创融资等辅助服务提供的机构决策。 基于证据的个人和机构决策应有助于制定促进更有活力的创业生态系统的政策。这个两阶段项目将首先成立一个由创新和高等教育学者组成的创业教育和研究工作组，他们将审查当前的课程，审查课程要素和教学方法有效性的任何证据，并推荐研究方法。 该工作组将制定一套结论和建议，供会议审议，会议参与者包括管理人员、企业家、投资者、选定的学生和一些非美国机构的校长
