PROJECT SUMMARY OUTREACH CORE The Outreach Core (OC) will be a multi-faceted arm of NeuroTech Harbor (NTH) to seek out high-risk, high- reward technology ideas in the neurotechnology fields. Building on the Equitech mission and vision of NTH, we will foster an inclusive environment where the brightest, most responsive neurotechnology ideas from anywhere or anyone in the US will be guided towards clinical and commercial success. NTH is committed to diversity and inclusion during early-stage translation as a major critical step towards creating long-term clinical and social impact. To execute our outreach plan, we present the following aims: (Aim 1) To perform rigorous needs assessments on an annual basis, driven by both primary and secondary research, to inform solicitations. (Aim 2) To drive broad awareness with targeted marketing of solicitations and generate high quality responses. (Aim 3) To form an NTH Institute for education and innovator leadership to increase success of innovators and as a pipeline for founding teams with women and URM inclusivity. For each solicitation cycle, we will work with our Steering Committee and Governing Board to (i) identify technology gaps in diagnostics and therapeutics for disorders of the nervous system, mental health and aging, (ii) identify needs for solutions in specific areas from a clinical perspective, and (iii) understand the needs of underserved patients, families, and advocacy group partners. We plan to synthesize and create solicitations that balance each stakeholder's perspective and needs. An initial needs assessment and solicitation are complete. Building on our prior experience with outreach for incubators and accelerator programs at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and Howard University (HU), we will broadly communicate our solicitation launch with a comprehensive marketing and communication strategy. We will make coordinated efforts to ensure prospective applicants meet the criteria of solicitations by providing high customer service with “Pitch Days” for directed feedback and with educational assistance on proposal writing. Our goal is to continuously improve our responsive rate. Given the challenges when embarking on early-stage translation, we are ready to serve and prepare Innovators for the journey, with a focus on the inclusion of women, Black, LatinX, and communities of color. To do so, we will create an NTH Institute to educate, train, and level the playing field for Innovators from low- resource environments. The Institute will curate all learning elements (e.g., workshops, boot camps), tackling topics including translation readiness, commercialization, professional development, and project management. It will also launch a “Spark” program targeted to all STEM students across the HBCUs and minority serving institutions (MSIs) to introduce the neurotech field and the opportunities it unveils. To further enhance the diversity of Innovator teams and meet our goals for inclusion, we will facilitate team building by working closely with the Evaluation Core to create a closed feedback loop with solicited proposal Innovator teams. Finally, we will invite the BP consortium and their communities to participate and gain from the NTH Institute. .

项目概要外展核心 外展核心（OC）将是神经技术港（NTH）的多方面手臂，以寻找高风险，高... 奖励神经科技领域的科技创意。基于Equitech的使命和NTH的愿景，我们 将培养一个包容性的环境，让来自世界各地的最聪明，最敏感的神经技术想法 或美国的任何人都将被引导走向临床和商业成功。NTH致力于多元化， 在早期翻译过程中纳入作为建立长期临床和社会关系的重要关键步骤 冲击为了执行我们的推广计划，我们提出以下目标：（目标1）执行严格的需求 在初级和次级研究的推动下，每年进行评估，为招标提供信息。（目标 2)通过有针对性的市场营销来提高广泛的知名度，并产生高质量的响应。（目标 3)成立NTH教育和创新领导研究所，以提高创新者的成功率，并作为 与女性和URM包容性的创始团队的管道。 对于每个招标周期，我们将与我们的指导委员会和管理委员会合作，以（i）确定 神经系统疾病、精神健康和衰老的诊断和治疗方面的技术差距， (ii)从临床角度确定特定领域的解决方案需求，以及（iii）了解 服务不足的患者，家庭和倡导团体合作伙伴。我们计划综合和创建招标， 平衡每个利益相关者的观点和需求。初步需求评估和招标已经完成。 基于我们之前在约翰霍普金斯大学孵化器和加速器项目的推广经验 大学（JHU）和霍华德大学（HU），我们将广泛沟通我们的征集启动与 全面的营销和沟通战略。我们将共同努力，确保 申请人符合招标的标准，提供高客户服务与"推销日"为定向 反馈和建议书写作方面的教育援助。我们的目标是不断提高我们的 应答率考虑到早期翻译面临的挑战，我们已准备好为您服务， 为创新者的旅程做好准备，重点是妇女，黑人，拉丁裔和社区的包容性 颜色. 为此，我们将创建一个NTH研究所，为创新者提供教育、培训和公平的竞争环境， 资源环境。研究所将策划所有学习要素（例如，讲习班、靴子训练营）、处理 主题包括翻译准备、商业化、专业发展和项目管理。 它还将推出一项针对HBCU和少数民族服务的所有STEM学生的“火花”计划 这些机构（MSI）介绍了神经技术领域及其所揭示的机会。进一步提升 创新团队的多样性，并实现我们的包容性目标，我们将通过密切合作促进团队建设 与Evaluation Core一起，与征求提案的创新团队建立一个封闭的反馈循环。最后我们 将邀请BP财团及其社区参与并从NTH研究所获益。 .
