摘要/概要 美国目前正面临着药物成瘾（DA）的流行，而缺乏创新的药物。 预防、诊断和治疗DA和物质使用障碍（SUD）的技术。 生物医学产品开发创业与创新项目 （EI 4 BPD）旨在推进产品和服务的开始和开发， 扩大并提供有效的预防、诊断和治疗药物使用的解决方案 通过培训生命科学研究人员在创业，创新，生物医学 产品开发和商业化。 具体而言，该计划将：1）联合收割机结合创业，创新，DA， 和教育学者对创业定制和统一的课程，早期- 分阶段进行生物医学技术商业化和生物医学产品开发。2)招募 连续4年的15名研究员，他们是在SUD领域工作的美国科学家 研究，接受，免费培训，就如何促进发展的早期阶段， 生物医学技术以及如何从研究和 从学术实验室到商业世界。选择将通过一个高度 竞争过程。3)将开发的课程作为教育计划实施 包括量身定制的在线（现场和自定进度）和面对面的教育活动， 来自学术界、政府和工业界的教练。4)为所有人创建一个对等社区 SUD研究人员和行业专家提供计划的可持续性和思想的空间 异花授粉 教育计划将包括一个启动活动，以促进社区建设和设置 方案的目标。随后将举办两个关于创新的在线课程， 创业涵盖用户理解和技术评估。这些课程将 辅以量身定制的在线研讨会和在线支持活动。最后，该计划将 最后，举办一个关于创业和创新的亲身实践训练营， 生物医学产品开发由实践生物医学企业家和 药物治疗教练每一个新的队列将得到各种行业专家的支持， 演讲者和教练，将成为同行社区的一部分，这将每年增长， 让所有校友保持联系，以支持未来的生物医学产品开发工作。

Abstract/Summary The U.S. is currently facing a drug addiction (DA) epidemic while there is a dearth of innovative technologies for preventing, diagnosing and treating DA and substance use disorders (SUDs). The program on Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Biomedical Product Development (EI4BPD) aims to advance the inception and development of products and services to develop, scale, and deliver effective prevention, diagnostic and treatment solutions for substance use disorders by training life science researchers in entrepreneurship, innovation, biomedical product development and commercialization. Specifically, this program will: 1) Combine the expertise of entrepreneurship, innovation, DA, and education scholars toward a customized and unified curriculum in entrepreneurship, early- stage biomedical technology commercialization and biomedical product development. 2) Recruit 4 consecutive yearly cohorts of 15 fellows, who are U.S. scientists working in the fields of SUDs research, to receive, free of charge the training on how to foster the development of early-stage biomedical technologies and how to advance their technologies from the research and academic laboratory into the commercial world. The selection will occur through a highly competitive process. 3) Implement the developed curriculum as an educational program consisting of tailored online (live and self-paced) and in-person educational activities driven by coaches from academia, government and industry. 4) Create a Community of Peers for all SUDs researchers and industry experts to provide program sustainability and a space for ideas’ cross-pollination. The educational program will consist of a kickoff event to promote community building and set the program’s goals. It will be followed by two online courses on innovation and entrepreneurship covering user understanding and technology evaluation. The courses will be complemented by tailored live webinars and online support activities. Finally, the program will be concluded with an in-person hands-on bootcamp on entrepreneurship and innovation for biomedical product development facilitated by practicing biomedical entrepreneur and pharmacotherapy coaches. Each new cohort will be supported by a variety of industry experts, speakers and coaches that will be part of a Community of Peers, which will grow every year to keep all alumni connected to support future biomedical product development efforts.
