Project Summary As a participant in the new IDeA Regional Entrepreneurship Development (I-RED) program, the goal of this proposal is to create an educational product to promote entrepreneurism and commercialization in the Mountain West region of IDeA states. The educational product and overall program are intended to address the needs of IDeA state academic institutions in developing and strengthening technology transfer programs to stimulate technological innovation and the needs of IDeA state investigators in translating scientific discoveries and technologies from research laboratories into commercial products that improve human health and promote economic growth in IDeA states. Many factors limit the goal of successfully commercializing basic and translational science in IDeA states. These include a lack of knowledge and understanding among innovators regarding how technologies are brought to market, a lack of exposure to entrepreneurial and commercialization education, training, and mentoring (in areas such as patents, startups, business plan development, venture capital and angel investing), a limited knowledge of technology transfer processes and SBIR/STTR programs, and limited resources in university Technology Transfer Offices. To address these deficits, we will develop an entrepreneurship educational product that can be utilized by academic institutions, especially those in IDeA states, to inspire, train, and support their students and faculty to explore entrepreneurial opportunities. The product will consist of didactic and interactive forms of courses, including manuals, case reports, and databases. These will develop and enhance academic scientists’ entrepreneurial knowledge and skills such as patent filing, business plan development, capital raising, bookkeeping, financial management, business operation, and marketing, ultimately enhancing skills to compete for SBIR/STTR grants and to pursue entrepreneurial interests in academic environments. The product will be developed through a rigorous research and development process (including needs assessment, testing, validation and evaluation) and marketed for commercialization. The goals of this application in Phase I are to: 1) Establish the Hub structure, governance, and leadership plan; 2) Complete needs analyses, set product development goals, complete product design, develop prototypes and effective plans for testing; 3) Develop pilot project funding opportunity announcements, solicit applications, and establish processes to evaluate and select projects for funding; and 4) Implement an evaluation plan to monitor Phase I progress. In Phase II, our goals are to: 1) Refine the educational product through implementation and testing at academic institutions; 2) Fund Pilot Projects and validate the educational product through Pilot Projects and SBIR/STTR application; 3) Develop and implement commercialization plans for the educational product; and 4) Implement an evaluation plan to monitor Phase II progress.

项目摘要 作为新的IDEA区域创业发展(I-RED)计划的参与者， 这项提议是为了创造一种教育产品，以促进创业精神和商业化 西部山区理想之州。教育产品和整体计划旨在解决 理想国学术机构在发展和加强技术转移计划方面的需求 激发科技创新和观念国家研究者在科技翻译中的需求 将研究实验室的发现和技术转化为商业产品，改善人类 促进理想国家的健康和经济增长。 许多因素限制了基础科学和翻译科学在理想状态下成功商业化的目标。 这些问题包括创新者对技术如何发展缺乏知识和理解 推向市场，缺乏创业和商业化教育、培训和 指导(在专利、初创企业、商业计划开发、风险投资和天使等领域 投资)，对技术转让过程和SBIR/STTR方案的了解有限，而且有限 大学技术转移办公室的资源。 为了解决这些不足，我们将开发一种创业教育产品，供 学术机构，特别是那些处于理想状态的机构，激励、培训和支持他们的学生和 教职员工探索创业机会。该产品将包括说教形式和互动形式 当然，包括手册、案例报告和数据库。这些都将发展和提高学术 科学家的创业知识和技能，如专利申请、商业计划开发、资本 筹集、记账、财务管理、业务运营和营销，最终增强 竞争SBIR/STTR资助和追求学术上的创业兴趣的技能 环境。该产品将通过严格的研究和开发过程进行开发 (包括需求评估、测试、验证和评估)和商业化销售。 此应用程序在第一阶段的目标是：1)建立中心结构、治理和领导力 计划；2)完成需求分析，制定产品开发目标，完成产品设计、开发 原型和有效的测试计划；3)制定试点项目资助机会公告，征集 申请，并建立评估和选择资助项目的程序；以及4)实施 监测第一阶段进展的评价计划。在第二阶段，我们的目标是：1)完善教育产品 通过在学术机构的实施和测试；2)资助试点项目并验证教育 通过试验项目和SBIR/STTR应用获得产品；3)制定和实施商业化计划 4)实施评估计划，以监测第二阶段的进展情况。
