The initial IPS Fellowship period (2015-2019) has demonstrated the value of having a dedicated Knowledge Exchange professional embedded within the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Manchester. Outcomes have included: 81 new awards (£30M value) under knowledge exchange (KE), innovations and impact funding schemes; an uplift in the number of STFC-funded academics engaged in such schemes from an average of 6.5 over 2014 to 28 in 2018; £7.69M income leveraged direct from industry and other non-academic partners; filing of six patents and incorporation of three new start-up companies.The University's Research Strategy sets out our ambition to be distinguished by our interdisciplinary research, for training outstanding researchers and giving parity of esteem to discovery, application, knowledge exchange and impact. We aim to be the partner of choice for business and other external organisations worldwide through the quality and focus of our research and the efficiency of our outward interfaces. When our work has impact beyond academia and yields economic, social and cultural benefits, we strive to maximise that opportunity. This 2-year extension to the STFC IPS Fellowship will be the final phase in transitioning from a partially supported post, to one fully funded by the University. The role of Technology Translation Fellow exists to work in close proximity with academic researchers in STFC-funded areas, including astronomy & astrophysics, accelerator science and technology, and nuclear and particle physics. Unlike other KE and Impact support roles, including the University's central business engagement team, the Research Impact Support Officers, and the strategic funding team, this role requires the specialist knowledge and skills of a physicist with experience of working in academic and industrial research. The Fellow draws upon this skill-set, and their understanding of both environments, to seek out opportunities for collaboration between academic and non-academic groups, for commercial exploitation of research, and the progression of impact to non-academic beneficiaries. The academic sector has shifted in recent years towards more industrial collaboration, and greater accountability of the wider socio-economic outcomes of research. This began with the inclusion of non-academic impact in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework assessment, and is now embedded in government policy via the Industrial Strategy. As STFC-funded research is often the most fundamental science, and furthest from market, this role is particularly necessary to support researchers in these groups in finding the opportunities for commercialisation and non-academic partnership.

最初的IPS奖学金期间（2015-2019）已经证明了在曼彻斯特大学物理与天文学院内嵌入一个专门的知识交流专业人员的价值。成果包括：81个新奖项（价值3000万英镑）的知识交流（KE），创新和影响力资助计划;参与此类计划的STFC资助学者人数从2014年的平均6.5人增加到2018年的28人;直接从行业和其他非学术合作伙伴获得769万英镑的收入;申请了六项专利，并成立了三家新的初创公司。大学的研究战略阐述了我们的雄心，即通过我们的跨学科研究，培养优秀的研究人员，并给予平等的尊重发现，应用，知识交流和影响。我们的目标是通过我们研究的质量和重点以及我们对外接口的效率，成为全球商业和其他外部组织的首选合作伙伴。当我们的工作产生学术界以外的影响，并产生经济，社会和文化效益，我们努力最大限度地利用这一机会。这2年延长STFC IPS奖学金将是过渡的最后阶段，从一个部分支持的职位，一个完全由大学资助。技术翻译研究员的作用是与STFC资助领域的学术研究人员密切合作，包括天文学和天体物理学，加速器科学和技术以及核和粒子物理学。与其他KE和影响支持角色不同，包括大学的中央业务参与团队，研究影响支持人员和战略资助团队，这个角色需要具有学术和工业研究工作经验的物理学家的专业知识和技能。该研究员利用这一技能，以及他们对这两种环境的理解，寻找学术和非学术团体之间的合作机会，对研究进行商业利用，以及对非学术受益者的影响的进展。近年来，学术部门已转向更多的工业合作，并对研究的更广泛的社会经济成果承担更大的责任。这始于2014年卓越研究框架评估中的非学术影响，现在通过产业战略嵌入政府政策。由于STFC资助的研究往往是最基础的科学，离市场最远，这一角色对于支持这些群体的研究人员寻找商业化和非学术伙伴关系的机会尤为必要。
