Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Summit: A Seismic Shift in Promotion and Tenure

该奖项将支持评估创新和创业（I&amp；E）成就所产生的知识和成果的价值和包容性，作为全国高等教育大学教师晋升和终身教职（P&amp；T）决策的附加组成部分。这项工作将促进科学的进步，促进国家的繁荣。更有效地将大学教师的智力能力与创新经济结合起来的能力，将对社会和美国经济产生深远而广泛的影响。这一努力将涉及广泛的高等教育——包括主要本科院校（PUIs）和研究型博士院校（R1）[包括少数族裔院校，如传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）、部落学院和大学（tcu）和西班牙裔服务机构（hsi）]。实现这一目标的关键将是为来自高等教育不同领域的成员举办为期数天的峰会，讨论可能的主题并为下一步提出建议。此外，将进行峰会前的调查，以更好地了解在全国现有的P&amp；T指导方针中纳入I&amp；E标准的现状。本提案要求支持在2020年春夏计划和举办为期一天半的活动，题为“创新与创业峰会：晋升和任期的巨变”。本次峰会的目的是召集高等教育界的广泛人士，讨论基于证据的数据、实验知识和来自创新和创业成就的影响结果的价值和包容性，作为全国高等教育P&amp；T决策的额外组成部分。参与本次峰会的成员包括从主要的本科院校（PUIs）到研究型博士院校（包括少数族裔服务机构，如传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）、部落学院和大学（tcu）和西班牙裔服务机构（hsi）），以及直接影响该社区的组织。本次峰会的总体目标是：(a)在全国各地的大学中传播it领域的现状；(b)提供来自个别教师、管理人员和行业领导者的案例研究，展示I&amp；E对P&amp；T的影响；(c)促进高等教育生态系统在互联网上的沟通和信息共享；(d)为各个大学制定最佳实践和路线图，以增强其个人P&amp；T指导方针，以便在其教师中更全面地支持I&amp；E。注：就本文件而言，“大学”一词将包括所有高等教育机构。更有效地将我们大学教师的智力能力与创新经济结合起来的能力，将对社会和美国经济产生深远而广泛的影响。在创新和创业方面的工作不仅会对教师的职业生涯产生积极的影响，而且大学也将更好地实现自己围绕创新和创业的机构战略目标。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The award will support the evaluation of the value and inclusion of knowledge and outcomes derived from innovation and entrepreneurial (I&E) achievements as additional components in Promotion and Tenure (P&T) decisions for university faculty in higher education nationally. This work will promote the progress of science and to advance national prosperity. The ability to more effectively align the intellectual capabilities of university faculty with an innovation economy will have profound, broad reaching impacts for society and the American economy. This effort will engage the broad spectrum of higher education - including primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to research 1 (R1) doctoral universities [including minority- serving institutions such as historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and Hispanic serving institutions (HSIs)]. Key to this objective will be the delivery of a multi-day summit for constituents from a diverse cross-section of higher education to discuss possible the topic and make recommendations for next steps. In addition, a pre-summit survey will be performed to gain a better understanding the current state of incorporation of I&E criteria within existing P&T guidelines across the Nation. This proposal requests support for the planning and delivery of a one and a half day event in Spring/Summer 2020 entitled "Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Summit: A Seismic Shift in Promotion and Tenure (P&T)." The purpose of this summit is to convene the broad spectrum of higher education to discuss the value and inclusion of evidence-based data, experimental knowledge and impact outcomes derived from innovation and entrepreneurial achievements as additional components in P&T decisions for higher education nationally. The constituents to be involved in this Summit range from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to research 1 (R1) doctoral universities [including minority- serving institutions such as historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and Hispanic serving institutions (HSIs)], as well as organizations directly impacting this community. The overarching goals of this summit are to: (a) disseminate the current status of I&E within P&T amongst universities from across the Nation; (b) provide case studies from individual faculty, administrators and industry leaders demonstrating the impact of I&E within P&T; (c) foster communication and information sharing amongst the higher education ecosystem on I&E; and (d) develop best practices and road map for individual universities to augment their individual P&T guidelines to more inclusively support I&E amongst their faculty. Note: For the purpose of this document, the word "university" will serve as encompassing all institutions of higher education. The ability to more effectively align the intellectual capabilities of our university faculty with an innovation economy will have profound, broad reaching impacts for society and the American economy. Not only are faculty's professional careers be positively impacted by this work in innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E), the universities will be better positioned to accomplish their own institutional strategic goals focused around I&E.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
