ART: Intensifying Translation of Research in Oklahoma (InTRO)

联邦资助的大学研究产生了新的发现和技术，需要进一步的开发和支持，以便转化为更广泛的应用、使用或商业化。许多研究成果只会被发表在学术期刊上。俄克拉荷马州强化翻译研究(INTRO)项目将支持将研究成果转化为过程和产品的过程，供公众、行业、政府和其他人使用。INTRO还将为未来的工程师和科学家提供培训，让他们从事翻译研究，以便有一条可持续的发现管道到达公众手中。INTRO将发展一种翻译和以使用为灵感的研究型大学文化，开发一系列学科的教育材料，并为翻译研究项目提供基础设施。INTRO将加强研究人员与外部合作者之间的伙伴关系和联系，外部合作者包括行业、政府、社区组织、部落国家和其他外部实体。研究人员将有机会通过一个新的加速研究翻译(ART)学院获得翻译研究技能增强，以提供关于研究翻译特定方面的额外教育和培训。艺术学院的项目将涵盖研究翻译、伙伴关系和合作、伦理以及劳动力培训和发展。艺术学院还将提供资金，培训对翻译研究职业感兴趣的研究生和博士后。将有一个种子介绍翻译研究项目计划，以支持早期项目的推进。获得SRTP奖励的团队将获得资金，以便能够在不到两年的时间内将其概念验证想法转化为现成的解决方案或产品。INTRO将产生一个包容性和可持续的计划，支持包括学生、博士后和教职员工在内的不同学者社区，他们有能力从事翻译研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Federally funded university research results in new discoveries and technologies which need additional development and support in order to be translated for broader application, use or commercialization. Many research findings never progress beyond being written up in academic journals. The Intensifying Translational Research in Oklahoma (InTRO) project will support the process of research findings being translated into processes and products for use by the public, industry, government, and others. InTRO will also provide training for future engineers and scientists to pursue careers in translational research so that there is a sustainable pipeline of discoveries reaching the public.InTRO will grow a translational and use-inspired research university culture, develop educational materials from an array of disciplines, and provide infrastructure for translational research projects. InTRO will increase partnerships and connections between researchers and outside collaborators that include industry, government, community organizations, tribal nations, and other outside entities. Researchers will have access to translational research skill enhancement via a new Accelerating Research Translation (ART) Academy to provide additional education and training on specific aspects of research translation. The ART Academy program will cover research translation, partnerships and collaborations, ethics, and workforce training and development. The ART Academy will also provide funding to train graduate students and postdocs who are interested in translational research careers. There will be an InTRO Seed Translational Research Project program that supports advancement of early-stage projects. Teams who are awarded SRTP grants will receive funding to enable the translation of their proof-of-concept idea into a ready-for-use solution or product in under two years. InTRO will result in an inclusive and sustainable program that supports a community of diverse scholars, including students, postdocs, and faculty, who are equipped to engage in translational research.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.
