ART: Intensifying Translation of Research in Oklahoma (InTRO)

联邦政府资助的大学研究成果的新发现和技术，需要额外的发展和支持，以便转化为更广泛的应用，使用或商业化。许多研究成果只能在学术期刊上发表。俄克拉何马州的强化转化研究（InTRO）项目将支持将研究成果转化为公众、行业、政府和其他机构使用的过程和产品。InTRO还将为未来的工程师和科学家提供培训，以从事转化研究的职业，以便有一个可持续的发现管道到达公众。InTRO将发展转化和使用启发型研究型大学文化，从一系列学科开发教育材料，并为转化研究项目提供基础设施。InTRO将增加研究人员与外部合作者之间的伙伴关系和联系，这些合作者包括工业、政府、社区组织、部落国家和其他外部实体。研究人员将通过新的加速研究翻译（ART）学院获得翻译研究技能的提高，该学院在研究翻译的特定方面提供额外的教育和培训。ART学院项目将涵盖研究翻译、伙伴关系和合作、道德以及劳动力培训和发展。ART学院还将提供资金，培养对转化研究事业感兴趣的研究生和博士后。将有一个InTRO种子转化研究项目计划，支持早期项目的发展。获得SRTP资助的团队将获得资金，以便在两年内将他们的概念验证想法转化为可用的解决方案或产品。InTRO将形成一个包容和可持续的项目，支持包括学生、博士后和教师在内的各种学者组成的社区，他们有能力从事转化研究。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。

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.
