NHLBI INNOVATION AND COMMERCIALIZATION ECOSYSTEM DATA SUPPORT, EVALUATION, AND ANALYSIS

国家心脏、肺和血液研究所（NHLBI）的转化联盟和协调办公室（OTAC）负责通过开发和管理创新项目和倡议，加速将基础发现和创新转化为新的诊断、设备和治疗方法。OTAC的工作支持NHLBI的战略愿景，以推进转化研究和发展多样化和熟练的科学劳动力。OTAC专注于通过管理小企业创新生态系统中的资源，包括概念验证和小企业创新研究（SBIR）和小企业技术转移（STTR）计划，以及创新者支持服务，催化和促进新兴技术向商业潜力的发展。对我们项目和服务的评估产生基于数据的证据，这是为项目和运营决策提供信息的关键。NHLBI OTAC支持学术和小企业创新，并与内部和外部利益攸关方合作，为小企业创新生态系统提供资金和教育支持，以影响健康。RTI将确定适当的数据元素，创建收集和存储数据的环境，并提供分析和可视化工具，以便对SBIR/STTR生态系统进行持续评估。

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)’s Office of Translational Alliances and Coordination (OTAC) is charged with accelerating the translation of basic discoveries and innovations into new diagnostics, devices, and therapeutics, through the development and management of innovative programs and initiatives. OTAC’s work supports the NHLBI Strategic Vision to advance translational research and develop a diverse and skilled scientific workforce. OTAC focuses on catalyzing and facilitating development of emerging technologies towards commercial potential through its stewardship of resources within the small business innovation ecosystem, including Proof of Concept and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, in addition to innovator support services. Evaluation of our programs and services generates data-based evidence that is key to informing programmatic and operational decisions. NHLBI OTAC supports academic and small business innovation, and works with internal and external stakeholders to provide funding and educational support to the small business innovation ecosystem to impact health. RTI will identify appropriate data elements, create environments to collect and house data, and provide analysis and visualization tools that allow for ongoing evaluation of the SBIR/STTR ecosystem.
