This project supports acceleration of translation research and innovation that will promote the advancement of scientific progress along with prosperity and welfare of the nation through the enhancement of translational research. As an example, the US has maintained a competitive edge over competing nations through the translation of fundamental research from the lab to practical application, which drives the innovation economy. Thus, a change in institutional culture that leads to an increase in the number and robustness of translational research ecosystems across the nation will serve to maintain that leadership role. This project is important to society since it leads to a scalable, career path oriented, and economically impactful outcome. The project is scalable since the knowledge gained may be transferred to other institutes of higher education. Additionally, improvements in education that align with expected job opportunities will lead to future career pathways. And finally, the intellectual property generated will positively impact regional economic development.The objective of this project is to enhance the research translation ecosystem at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and its impact on the society. This is achieved through three main tasks: i) creating institutional infrastructure; ii) education and training; and iii) supporting translational research projects, aided by institutional learning and culture change through mentorship. Institutional infrastructure is created through the creation of the NJIT Center for Translational Research, which will serve as a central hub for all activities and is governed by a diverse external advisory board. Cohorts of graduate students, postdocs, and faculty will be offered two types of research translation education: (1) developing curricular education for graduate students, and (2) co-curricular workshops for faculty and postdocs based on NSF I-Corps curriculum. Supporting translational research projects leading to the immediate impact and serving as a platform for growing translational research, innovation and technology commercialization ecosystem.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.

该项目支持翻译研究和创新的加速，这将通过增强转化研究来促进科学进步的发展以及国家的繁荣和福利。 例如，美国通过将基本研究从实验室转换为实践应用，在竞争国家中保持了竞争优势，这驱动了创新经济。 因此，机构文化的变化导致全国翻译研究生态系统的数量和稳健性增加将有助于保持领导作用。 该项目对社会很重要，因为它导致了可扩展的，以职业道路为导向和经济影响的结果。 该项目是可扩展的，因为所获得的知识可能会转移到其他高等教育机构。 此外，与预期的工作机会保持一致的教育的改善将导致未来的职业道路。 最后，生成的知识产权将对区域经济发展产生积极影响。该项目的目的是增强新泽西技术学院的研究翻译生态系统及其对社会的影响。 这是通过三个主要任务来实现的：i）创建机构基础架构； ii）教育和培训； iii）支持转化研究项目，在机构学习和文化通过指导方面的变化提供帮助。 机构基础设施是通过建立NJIT转化研究中心创建的，该研究将成为所有活动的中心枢纽，并由多样化的外部顾问委员会管理。 研究生，博士后和教职员工将获得两种类型的研究翻译教育：（1）为研究生开发课程教育，以及（2）基于NSF I-Corps课程的教师和博士后的课外研讨会。 支持翻译研究项目，从而导致直接影响并成为发展转化研究，创新和技术商业化生态系统的平台。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来评估的评估值得支持的。
