Center for Innovative NeuroTech Advancement - CINTA

项目摘要-总体 我们建议创建创新神经技术进步中心（CINTA），一个新的 新兴技术快速转化为商业可行性中心， 神经系统疾病的临床重点解决方案。PD/PI，Steven医生 Schachter和Paolo Bonato拥有数十年的创作经验， 管理复杂的多机构，多学科，国家转化研究 组织，以及神经技术相关研究的专业知识，并将利用他们的 经验，以进一步创新，调整和部署完善的，经过验证的方法， 以需求为导向的医疗保健技术创新，开创、开发和验证了23年 通过创新和技术改善医学联盟（CIMIT）。行业uv机 在过去的23年里，由Schachter博士和他的同事，CIMIT有一个成功的记录证明 作为国家医疗创新中心和识别未满足医疗需求的独特模式， 需求;寻找，资助和促进基于技术的项目，以解决这些需求;并迅速 将这些创新从概念到制造，再到商业化，最后到最终用户。 结合他们数十年来在神经系统疾病和康复方面的专业知识和兴趣， 首席执行官/首席执行官将监督国家信息技术中心五个核心项目的进展情况： 核心、外联核心、评估核心、创新者子项目核心和资源子项目 核心行政核心项目主任Paul Tessier将全面负责 为了整合不同核心的活动，以实现拟议的 在中心PD/PI的指导下进行。行政核心将确保 NIH项目主任和科学官员的意见，以及指导委员会的意见， 委员会成员谁是不可或缺的提供指导的计划，以帮助多样化的 项目类型，并增加不同背景的提案人的代表性。关键 中心完成总体目标的活动包括既定的需求评估， 项目征集流程，以及CIMIT的虚拟协作平台CoLab，以帮助CINTA 调查员和调解员跟踪商业关键的四个领域的重要交付成果 成功CoLab还将用作共享CINTA资源的平台，例如CINTA 网站，供关键利益攸关方访问可用资源。最后，CINTA将利用 CIMIT和Spaulding建立了完善的国家和国际合作网络， 实现CINTA的目标，加强外部资助的合作。

Project Abstract - Overall We propose to create the Center for Innovative NeuroTech Advancement (CINTA), a new center for rapid transformation of emerging technologies into commercially viable, clinically focused solutions for disorders of the nervous system. The PD/PIs, Drs. Steven Schachter and Paolo Bonato, together have many decades of experience creating and managing complex multi-institutions, multi-disciplinary, national translational research organizations, and expertise in neurotechnology-related research, and will leverage their experience to further innovate, adapt, and deploy the well-developed, proven approach to needs-driven healthcare technology innovation pioneered, developed, and validated for 23 years by the Consortia for Improving Medicine with Innovation & Technology (CIMIT). Led for the past 23 years by Dr. Schachter and colleagues, CIMIT has a proven track record of success as a national center for healthcare innovation and a unique model to identify unmet medical needs; find, fund, and facilitate technology-based projects to solve those needs; and rapidly move these innovations from concept to manufacturing to commercialization to the end-user. Combining their decades-long expertise and interest in neurological disorders and rehabilitation, the PD/PIs will oversee the advancement of projects under CINTA’s five cores: Administrative Core, Outreach Core, Evaluation Core, Innovator Subprojects Core, and Resource Subawards Core. Paul Tessier, Program Director for the Administrative Core, will have overall responsibility for integrating the activities of the different cores to accomplish the overall goals of the proposed Center under the guidance of the Center PD/PIs. The Administrative Core will ensure ongoing input from NIH program directors and science officers, as well as input from the Steering Committee members who are integral in providing guidance to the program to help diversify the types of projects as well as increase representation of proposers of varying backgrounds. Key center activities to accomplish the overall goals include established needs assessment and project solicitation processes, and CIMIT’s virtual collaboration platform, CoLab, to help CINTA investigators and facilitators track important deliverables in four areas critical to commercial success. CoLab will also be used as a platform for shared CINTA resources, such as a CINTA website with access to resources available to key stakeholders. Finally, CINTA will draw upon the well-established national and international collaboration networks of CIMIT and Spaulding to achieve CINTA’s goals and enhance externally funded collaborations.
