DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research project is designed to complement NIDCR's efforts to implement the Blue Ribbon Panel's (BRP) specific recommendation concerning the development of competency in research management, entrepreneurship and the technology transfer process. The immediate specific aim of this project is to design, develop, implement, test, and evaluate a short course of instruction specifically aimed at fourth year dental students, dental residents, postdoctoral fellows, and dental school junior faculty to convey the relevant information and to introduce them to opportunities in basic and clinical dental research, entrepreneurship, technology transfer, bioventures, and the process for making newly-discovered diagnostic and therapeutic products available to the public. While at the NIDCR, and in response to BRP's recommendation, the principal investigator organized two Dental Oral and Craniofacial Technology Forums in 1999 and 2001, 3 Entrepreneurial Venture Fairs in 2000-2002, and a Dental Industry Day in 2001. Based on experience gained with these venues, he developed a model for teaching these competencies. The model includes a combination of lectures and interactive case studies. To test this model, a group with expertise in these competencies, has been assembled to plan, prepare and implement a program. The program consists of a recruitment process, a 2-day workshop, and an evaluation plan. Recruitment of students for the program will be from UCONN's SODM senior class, residency programs, and junior faculty. A special effort will be made to recruit women and minorities. It includes an ongoing seminar series, which will be given as first person accounts from prominent dental entrepreneurs using speakers as role models. The 2-day workshop consists of lectures, an interactive case study by teams, and team presentations. Evaluation of the program by an external committee will consist of pre-and post-workshop surveys to determine if the workshop conveyed the essential information, as well long-term follow-up on the effect of the program on student careers. This proposal requests funds for two years. The first year will be devoted to the development and initial testing of a pilot workshop. The second year includes presentation of the program at 5 dental schools. Upon completion of this project, it is anticipated that an extensively tested and refined program will be available and suitable to convey essential information needed to develop these competencies.

描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的研究项目旨在补充NIDCR为实施蓝丝带小组(BRP)关于研究管理、创业和技术转让过程能力发展的具体建议所做的努力。这个项目的直接具体目标是设计、开发、实施、测试和评估一个专门针对四年级牙科学生、牙科住院医生、博士后研究员和牙科学校初级教员的短期教学课程，以传达相关信息，并向他们介绍基础和临床牙科研究、创业、技术转让、生物风险投资以及向公众提供新发现的诊断和治疗产品的过程中的机会。 在NIDCR期间，首席调查员响应BRP的建议，在1999年和2001年组织了两次口腔和颅面技术论坛，在2000-2002年举办了三次创业博览会，并在2001年组织了一次牙科工业日。根据在这些场馆获得的经验，他开发了一个教授这些能力的模型。该模式包括讲座和互动案例研究相结合。为了测试这一模型，已经召集了一个在这些能力方面具有专业知识的小组来计划、准备和实施一项计划。该计划包括招聘过程、为期两天的研讨会和评估计划。该项目的招生将来自康涅狄格州大学的SODM高年级、实习项目和初级教职员工。将特别努力招募妇女和少数民族。它包括正在进行的一系列研讨会，将以演讲者为榜样，以著名牙科企业家的第一人称描述为主题。为期两天的工作坊由讲座、团队互动案例研究和团队陈述组成。外部委员会对该计划的评估将包括研讨会前和研讨会后的调查，以确定研讨会是否传达了基本信息，以及对该计划对学生职业生涯的影响的长期跟踪。 这项提案要求两年的资金。第一年将专门用于开发和初步测试试点讲习班。第二年包括在5所牙科学校介绍该计划。该项目完成后，预计将提供一个经过广泛测试和完善的计划，并适合于传达培养这些能力所需的基本信息。
