PROJECT SUMMARY Continuum Educational Technologies’ (Continuum) will work with the University of Kansas (KU) on the proposed I-RED program entitled Smart Tools to Accelerate Research Translation by Uplifting Participants for the Central IDeA State Region (STARTUP Central) program to stimulate technological innovation in the IDeA state regions by addressing the entrepreneurial educational needs of investigators in translating scientific discoveries from research laboratories into commercial products that improve human health and promote economic growth. Through the proposed effort, STARTUP Central will help the Central Region address a persistent gap between its robust biomedical research activities and the development of a comparable pipeline of academic entrepreneurs commercializing the many innovations resulting from this research. Continuum’s proposed suite of educational products will provide a comprehensive, uniform, and assessable mechanism for developing robust cultures of entrepreneurship within individual regional institutions, and will provide a centralized mechanism for individual institutions to coordinate efforts, share resources, and develop regional best-practices. These “smart” tools will seek to organize and systemize the abundance of information and basic educational resources available regarding biomedical translation, employing educational psychology principles for adult online learning to develop an integrated and effective curriculum from an otherwise disparate and disconnected collection of resources and programming. Back-end analytics, user-feedback, and evaluation features will be heavily embedded into the learning management system to provide users, institutions, and Continuum with a means to continuously assess and improve the usability and effectiveness of the educational tools and their content, as well as to assess and maximize the impact of the products on individual users and the broader entrepreneurial culture of each institutional customer. In Phase 1, Continuum and KU will work collaboratively to assemble the project consortium and make all preparations to run the Phase 2 Pilot Project program. The team will work together to input content for and design a wireframe model of the educational products. These wireframe products will then be initially tested, iteratively redesigned, and initially validated. At the end of Phase 1, the validated wireframe educational product will be ready for full enhancement and used in the two Pilot Project programs in Phase 2. Assessment of the enhanced smart educational products to meet user needs in the two Pilot Project programs will be used to iteratively redesign the educational products. At the end of Phase 2, the smart educational products and the format of the Pilot Project program will be ready for commercialization. Outcomes will be assessed based on enhanced entrepreneurship attitudes, confidence, and competency in the program participants compared to the control. Metrics to evaluate program outcomes include number of products developed, number of licensing agreements signed, number of students and faculty being trained through the various aspects of STARTUP Central, number of patents filed, number of SBIR/STTR applications submitted and awarded by any federal agency, and number of start-up companies launched.

项目摘要 Continuum Educational Technologies（Continuum）将与堪萨斯大学（KU）合作 拟议的I-RED计划题为“智能工具”来加速研究翻译，以提高参与者 中央思想国家区域（启动中央）计划刺激该想法的技术创新 通过解决研究人员翻译科学的企业家教育需求，通过解决国家地区 研究实验室的发现到改善人类健康并促进的商业产品 经济增长。通过拟议的努力，初创企业中央将帮助中央地区解决 其稳健的生物医学研究活动与类似管道的发展之间的持续差距 这项研究产生的许多创新商业化的学术企业家。 Continuum提议的教育产品套件将提供全面，统一和可评估的 在各个区域机构内开发强大的企业家精神文化的机制，并将 为各个机构提供协调，共享资源和发展的集中机制 区域最佳实践。这些“智能”工具将寻求组织和系统化信息的抽象 以及有关生物医学翻译的基础教育资源，采用教育心理学 成人在线学习的原则，以开发综合有效的课程 资源和编程的分散和断开收集。后端分析，用户反馈和 评估功能将大量嵌入学习管理系统中，以提供用户， 机构和连续性，以一种继续评估和提高可用性和有效性的方法 教育工具及其内容，以及评估和最大化产品的影响 个人用户和每个机构客户的更广泛的企业家文化。 在第1阶段，Continuum和KU将共同努力，以组装项目联盟并使一切 准备运行2阶段试点项目计划的准备工作。团队将共同努力，以输入和 设计教育产品的线框模型。然后，这些线框产品最初将进行测试， 迭代重新设计，并最初验证。在第1阶段结束时，经过验证的线框教育 产品将准备好进行全面增强，并在第2阶段的两个试点项目计划中使用。评估 在增强的智能教育产品中，将使用两个试点项目计划中的用户需求 迭代地重新设计教育产品。在第二阶段结束时，智能教育产品和 试点项目计划的格式将准备好进行商业化。 结果将根据增强的企业家参与者，信心和能力进行评估 计划参与者与对照相比。评估计划结果的指标包括 制定的产品，签署的许可协议数量，学生的数量和接受培训的教职员工 通过启动中心的各个方面，申请的专利数量，SBIR/STTR应用程序数量 由任何联邦机构提交并授予，并成立了许多初创公司。
