Summary Scientists are motivated by the notion that their work could improve or save lives; however, moving medical innovations from bench to bedside is challenging. Biomedical entrepreneurship can be a career choice but is also key to translating these investments in medical research by the commercialization of innovative ideas. To succeed at this translation, a whole new set of skills are required, such as; understanding the barriers to adoption in the complex healthcare market, business plan development, regulatory requirements, securing the financial resources, and protection of intellectual property. Training in biomedical entrepreneurship is limited in the Institutional Development Award program (IDeA)-eligible states. We posit that innovative training opportunities that close this foundational knowledge and skills gap will speed the commercialization of biomedical inventions and career progression. To address this need and education gap we established the IDeA-Entrepreneurship (I-Trep) training program. The overall goal of I-Trep is to promote entrepreneurship in biomedical research and to jump start and facilitate the transition of innovative ideas and discoveries from the laboratory or bedside into the marketplace. To date, we have engaged seven target states (VT, NH, ME, RI, DE, AK and Puerto Rico) and moved careers forward. We have trained or assisted a highly diverse group of scientists, who have raised to date $8 million in SBIR/STTR grant dollars and two I-Trep -assisted companies have now raised $20 million from private investors. I-Trep is being revamped with a next phase of development, innovation, and expansion to create an IDeA entrepreneurial ecosystem. We will now move forward to engage the entire IDeA program of 23 states plus Puerto Rico with the aims and goals for the next phase that are: 1) Promote early career training in biomedical entrepreneurship through innovative training opportunities. This will be achieved using innovative principles of active learning, we will deploy virtual and asynchronous learning opportunities, an I-Trep Studio program, and an I-Trep Fellows program. 2) Build a virtual community of practice. Mentoring of early- stage entrepreneurs will be achieved through the establishment of an online community of practice (ecosystem)- allowing members to a) connect with peer mentors, b) received one-on-one mentoring from vetted consultants, c) find internship opportunities to gain practical experience. and 3) Marketing. We will disseminate our training program by using a multifaceted approach that is grounded in best practices and innovations in communications and build the community of practice in collaboration with several NIGMS Regional Technology Transfer Hubs. I-Trep fills a unique niche through the education and training of academic scientists so that they can interact more effectively with business professionals and thus realize the successful translation of scientific discoveries to market.

总结 科学家的动机是他们的工作可以改善或挽救生命的概念;然而，移动医疗 从工作台到床边的创新是具有挑战性的。生物医学创业可以是一种职业选择，但 这也是通过创新思想的商业化来转化这些医学研究投资的关键。 为了成功地进行这种翻译，需要一套全新的技能，例如： 在复杂的医疗保健市场中的采用、业务计划制定、监管要求、 财政资源和知识产权保护。生物医学创业培训是 在机构发展奖计划（IDEA）资格的国家有限。我们致力于创新 缩小这一基础知识和技能差距的培训机会将加速商业化 生物医学发明和职业发展的机会。为了解决这一需求和教育差距，我们建立了 IDEA-创业培训方案。I-Trep的总体目标是促进 生物医学研究的创业精神，并启动和促进创新的过渡， 将想法和发现从实验室或床边带入市场。到目前为止，我们已经 七个目标州（VT、NH、ME、RI、DE、AK和波多黎各），并推动了职业发展。我们已经培训 或者帮助一个高度多样化的科学家群体，他们迄今为止已经筹集了800万美元的SBIR/STTR赠款 两个I-Trep帮助的公司现在已经从私人投资者那里筹集了2000万美元。I-Trep正在 通过下一阶段的开发、创新和扩张进行改造，打造IDEA创业型企业 生态系统我们现在将继续推进23个州和波多黎各的整个IDEA计划， 下一阶段的目标是：1）促进生物医学早期职业培训 通过创新的培训机会创业。这将通过创新 积极学习的原则，我们将部署虚拟和异步学习机会，一个I-Trep工作室 一个是I-Trep Fellows项目。2)建立虚拟实践社区。早期的指导- 阶段企业家将通过建立在线实践社区来实现 （生态系统）-允许成员a）与同行导师联系，B）接受来自 c）寻找实习机会，以获得实际经验。（3）营销。我们将 通过使用基于最佳实践的多方面方法传播我们的培训计划， 创新的通信和建立实践社区与几个NIGMS合作 区域技术转让中心。I-Trep通过教育和培训填补了一个独特的利基市场， 学术科学家，使他们能够更有效地与商业专业人士互动，从而实现 成功地将科学发现转化为市场。
