Models for Better Academic-Industrial Partnerships to Create Value from Concepts

小行星0090523 该奖项是为了罗格斯大学支持下面描述的活动36个月。 该提案是为了响应创新合作伙伴计划征集而提交的（NSF 0082）。合作伙伴合作伙伴是罗格斯大学;新泽西医学和牙科大学，新泽西理工学院;新泽西生物材料中心，其中包括15个工业成员。改进创新过程的商业评估和规划工具;利用工业部门内未充分利用的知识产权开发适销技术;让商学院创业方案和公共政策部门的教师参与;研究生的创新和创业教育。建议创新创新的目标是实施和评估更好的创新模式，包括技术支持伙伴关系（TEP）和虚拟研究组织（VRO）。 TEP模式是通过改进业务评估和规划，更有效地利用学术部门内欠发达的知识产权。 VRO旨在通过与学术界的新颖互动，从工业部门未充分利用的知识产权中开发可销售的技术。 商学院和公共政策部门以及学术界的科学和工程部门都参与其中。 企业和政府机构以其传统优势完成了伙伴关系。 这些模型及其评估将通过正常渠道以及公共创新研讨会进行传播。潜在的经济影响研究生教育形式的创新劳动力需求将为生物材料领域的创新提供基础设施。 将对这些模式进行评价，并传播评价结果。 任何商业企业的商业化活动也将产生经济影响。潜在的社会影响生物材料有许多应用，将是重要的医学和公共卫生。 此外，技术部门的新就业机会将是新泽西的一个好处。

0090523 Kohn This award is to Rutgers University to support the activity described below for 36 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF 0082).PartnersThe partners are Rutgers University; University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, New Jersey Institute of Technology; New Jersey Center for Biomaterials, which includes 15 industrial members.Proposed ActivitiesThe activities in this award include implementation and evaluation of better models for academic-industrial partnerships; improved business assessment and planning tools for the innovation process; development of marketable technology from underutilized intellectual property within the industrial sector; engage faculty from business school entrepreneurship programs and public policy departments; education of graduate students in innovation and entrepreneurship.Proposed InnovationThe innovation goals are the implementation and evaluation of better models for innovation including Technology Enablement Partnership (TEP) and Virtual Research Organization (VRO). TEP model is for more efficient utilization of underdeveloped intellectual property within the academic sector by improved business assessment and planning. VRO is for development of marketable technology from underutilized intellectual property within the industrial sector by novel interactions with academia. Business schools and public policy departments are participating, as well as scientific and engineering departments from academia. Business and government agencies complete the partnerships with their traditional strengths. The models and their evaluations will be disseminated through normal channels plus a public Innovation Workshop.Potential Economic ImpactWorkforce needs for innovation in the form of graduate student education will provide the infrastructure to enable innovation in the biomaterials sector. The models will be evaluated and the results will be disseminated. Any business enterprises from the commercialization activities will also have economic impact.Potential Societal ImpactBiomaterials have many applications that will be important to medicine and public health. In addition, new jobs in the technology sector will be a benefit in New Jersey.
