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， 该提案旨在创建一种教育产品，以促进 美国西部山区。教育产品和整体计划旨在解决 IDEA国家学术机构在开发和加强技术转让计划方面的需求 鼓励技术创新和IDEA州调查人员在翻译科学知识方面的需求， 从研究实验室的发现和技术转化为商业产品， 健康和促进IDEA州的经济增长。 许多因素限制了在IDEA州成功商业化基础和转化科学的目标。 这些问题包括创新者缺乏关于技术如何 进入市场，缺乏创业和商业化教育，培训， 指导（在专利、创业、商业计划开发、风险投资和天使投资等领域 投资），技术转让流程和SBIR/STTR计划的知识有限， 大学技术转移办公室的资源。 为了解决这些问题，我们将开发一种创业教育产品， 学术机构，特别是那些在IDEA国家，激励，培训和支持他们的学生， 探索创业机会。该产品将包括教学和互动形式 包括手册、案例报告和数据库。这些将发展和提高学术 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、簿记、财务管理、业务运营和营销，最终提高 技能竞争SBIR/STTR赠款，并追求学术创业兴趣 环境.该产品将通过严格的研发过程进行开发 （包括需求评估、测试、验证和评价）并进行商业化销售。 此应用程序在第一阶段的目标是：1）建立Hub结构、治理和领导 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）制定试点项目的资助机会公告， 申请，并建立程序，以评估和选择项目的资金;和4）实施一个 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 产品通过试点项目和SBIR/STTR应用; 3）制定和实施商业化计划 4）实施一项评估计划，以监测第二阶段的进展情况。
