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 连续体教育技术公司（连续体）将与堪萨斯大学（KU）合作， I-RED计划，名为智能工具，通过提升参与者来加速研究翻译， 中部IDEA州地区（STARTUP Central）计划，以刺激IDEA的技术创新 通过解决研究人员在翻译科学知识方面的创业教育需求， 从研究实验室的发现转化为商业产品，改善人类健康， 经济增长通过拟议的努力，启动中心将帮助中部地区解决一个 其强大的生物医学研究活动与可比管道的开发之间存在持续的差距 学术企业家将这项研究的许多创新成果商业化。 Continuum提出的一套教育产品将提供一个全面的，统一的，可评估的 在各区域机构内建立健全创业文化的机制，并将 为各个机构提供一个集中的机制，以协调工作，共享资源， 区域最佳做法。这些“智能”工具将寻求组织和系统化丰富的信息 和基本的教育资源，关于生物医学翻译，采用教育心理学 成人在线学习的原则，以开发一个综合和有效的课程，从其他 资源和编程的不同和断开的集合。后端分析、用户反馈和 评价功能将大量嵌入学习管理系统， 机构和Continuum，以持续评估和改进 教育工具及其内容，以及评估和最大限度地扩大产品对 个人用户和每个机构客户的更广泛的创业文化。 在第一阶段，Continuum和KU将合作组建项目联盟， 准备运行第二阶段试点项目计划。该团队将共同努力， 设计教育产品的线框模型。这些线框产品将进行初步测试， 反复重新设计，并初步验证。在第1阶段结束时，经过验证的线框教育 产品将准备好全面增强，并用于第二阶段的两个试点项目计划。评估 两个先导计划将采用其中一个经改良的智能教育产品，以满足用户的需要 to iteratively迭代redesign重新设计the educational教育products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商业化。 将根据增强的创业态度、信心和能力对成果进行评估， 与对照组相比。评估方案成果的指标包括： 开发的产品、签署的许可证协议数量、接受培训的学生和教员数量 通过STARTUP Central的各个方面，专利申请数量，SBIR/STTR申请数量 由任何联邦机构提交和颁发的数字，以及开办的新公司的数目。
