Program on Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Biomedical Product Development (EI4BPD)

摘要/摘要 美国目前正面临着毒瘾(DA)流行病，而创新能力却很匮乏 预防、诊断和治疗DA和物质使用障碍(SUDS)的技术。 生物医药产品开发的创业与创新计划 (EI4BPD)旨在推进产品和服务的启动和开发， 扩展并提供有效的药物使用预防、诊断和治疗解决方案 通过在创业、创新、生物医学等方面培训生命科学研究人员来解决精神障碍 产品开发和商业化。 具体地说，该计划将：1)结合创业、创新、发展议程、 和教育学者对创业的定制和统一课程，早期- 生物医药技术商业化和生物医药产品开发阶段。2)招聘 连续4年由15名研究员组成的队列，他们是在肥皂领域工作的美国科学家 研究，接受关于如何促进早期发展的免费培训 生物医学技术以及如何从研究和开发中推进其技术 进入商业世界的学术实验室。选拔将通过高度集中的 竞争过程。3)将开发的课程作为教育项目实施 由定制的在线(现场和自定进度)和面对面的教育活动组成，由 来自学术界、政府和工业界的教练。4)创建人人共享的同龄人社区 SODS研究人员和行业专家为项目提供可持续性和创意空间 异花授粉。 教育计划将包括一个促进社区建设的启动活动和 该计划的目标。之后将有两门关于创新和创新的在线课程 涵盖用户理解和技术评估的创业精神。课程将会是 辅之以量身定制的现场网络研讨会和在线支持活动。最后，该计划将 以关于创业和创新的面对面实践训练营结束 由执业生物医药企业家和 药物治疗教练。每一个新的团队都将得到各种行业专家的支持， 演讲者和教练将成为同行社区的一部分，该社区每年将增长到 让所有校友保持联系，以支持未来的生物医学产品开发工作。

Abstract/Summary The U.S. is currently facing a drug addiction (DA) epidemic while there is a dearth of innovative technologies for preventing, diagnosing and treating DA and substance use disorders (SUDs). The program on Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Biomedical Product Development (EI4BPD) aims to advance the inception and development of products and services to develop, scale, and deliver effective prevention, diagnostic and treatment solutions for substance use disorders by training life science researchers in entrepreneurship, innovation, biomedical product development and commercialization. Specifically, this program will: 1) Combine the expertise of entrepreneurship, innovation, DA, and education scholars toward a customized and unified curriculum in entrepreneurship, early- stage biomedical technology commercialization and biomedical product development. 2) Recruit 4 consecutive yearly cohorts of 15 fellows, who are U.S. scientists working in the fields of SUDs research, to receive, free of charge the training on how to foster the development of early-stage biomedical technologies and how to advance their technologies from the research and academic laboratory into the commercial world. The selection will occur through a highly competitive process. 3) Implement the developed curriculum as an educational program consisting of tailored online (live and self-paced) and in-person educational activities driven by coaches from academia, government and industry. 4) Create a Community of Peers for all SUDs researchers and industry experts to provide program sustainability and a space for ideas’ cross-pollination. The educational program will consist of a kickoff event to promote community building and set the program’s goals. It will be followed by two online courses on innovation and entrepreneurship covering user understanding and technology evaluation. The courses will be complemented by tailored live webinars and online support activities. Finally, the program will be concluded with an in-person hands-on bootcamp on entrepreneurship and innovation for biomedical product development facilitated by practicing biomedical entrepreneur and pharmacotherapy coaches. Each new cohort will be supported by a variety of industry experts, speakers and coaches that will be part of a Community of Peers, which will grow every year to keep all alumni connected to support future biomedical product development efforts.
