One of the goals of scientific research is to have an impact beyond the laboratory; however, many university researchers do not have the knowledge, support, or resources to translate their discoveries to the point of societal and economic impact. This project seeks to address the challenges and barriers faced by researchers in transforming their innovative ideas into solutions for real-world problems. By designing action-oriented activities and providing hands-on business training and support, the Accelerating Research Translation: Technology, Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Hub (ART:TECH) project aims to help researchers navigate the complex technical, ethical, and commercialization landscape associated with innovation and entrepreneurship. Researchers will learn how to utilize local, state, and national resources, as well as partner effectively and efficiently with the local communities to advance their research beyond the laboratory. The guiding principle of the project is to bring together expertise and resources to establish and maintain a culture of innovation built on diversity and respect where impactful discoveries will result in direct benefits to society.The vision of the project is to establish the foundations for a robust research translation infrastructure that serves as the natural nexus point for use-inspired research activities. ART:TECH addresses institutional barriers through the creation of new training and support programs, scaling existing successful programs, and establishing an ambassador network. The project is designed to advance academic innovations, facilitate translation of benchtop research into real-world impact, and achieve an institutional culture change by raising awareness of the economic and societal benefits of translational research. Creative activities will be implemented to build capacity to scale and accelerate research translation while also training the next generation of graduate and post-doctoral students in innovation and entrepreneurship. The goal is to not only advance high impact, translational research but also promote innovation, economic growth, and societal well-being.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.

科学研究的目标之一是在实验室之外产生影响;然而，许多大学研究人员没有知识，支持或资源来将他们的发现转化为社会和经济影响。该项目旨在解决研究人员在将其创新想法转化为现实世界问题的解决方案时所面临的挑战和障碍。通过设计以行动为导向的活动，并提供实践业务培训和支持，加速研究转化：技术，创业和商业化中心（ART：TECH）项目旨在帮助研究人员浏览与创新和创业相关的复杂技术，道德和商业化景观。研究人员将学习如何利用当地，州和国家资源，以及有效和高效地与当地社区合作，以推动他们的研究超越实验室。该项目的指导原则是汇集专业知识和资源，建立和维护一种建立在多样性和尊重基础上的创新文化，其中有影响力的发现将为社会带来直接利益。该项目的愿景是为强大的研究翻译基础设施奠定基础，作为受使用启发的研究活动的自然连接点。ART：TECH通过创建新的培训和支持计划，扩大现有的成功计划以及建立大使网络来解决体制障碍。该项目旨在推进学术创新，促进将台式研究转化为现实世界的影响，并通过提高对转化研究的经济和社会效益的认识来实现机构文化的转变。将实施创造性活动，以建设扩大和加速研究翻译的能力，同时还培训下一代研究生和博士后学生的创新和创业精神。该奖项的目标不仅是推动高影响力的转化研究，而且还促进创新，经济增长和社会福祉。该奖项反映了NSF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。
