IGERT: Bioinnovation through the development of novel biological delivery technologies

这个综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖创建了一个跨学科的生物创新博士项目，将培养学员？能够开发临床相关的生物医学技术和设备，从而实现商业化产品。该项目将研究与创业相结合，培养能够为复杂生物医学问题提供创新和具有成本效益的解决方案的毕业生。智力优势：学员将完成生物创新课程，包括创业、市场营销和知识产权课程，以及FDA实习，在那里他们将学习设备监管并建立非学术研究合作。商业计划将与杜兰大学的同事一起制定？商学院、法学院和医学院。研究项目将集中在再生医学、生物传感器或治疗材料的药物输送应用上。更广泛的影响：这个项目将为各种各样的学生提供特殊的机会。IGERT的学员将学习创业、知识产权和监管方面的第一手知识。团队合作的互动将教育非科学家关于变革的研究方法。历史上代表性不足的群体将通过与杜兰大学（Tulane University）的多元化项目建立的关系，以及与SACNAS和泽维尔大学（Xavier University）的直接联系来招募。最后，新技术和设备的发展将扩大经济发展，加强新奥尔良地区新兴的生物医药产业。IGERT是一项nsf范围内的计划，旨在满足教育美国博士科学家和工程师的挑战，他们具有跨学科背景，所选学科的深厚知识，以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该项目旨在建立研究生教育和培训的新模式，在一个超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，让学生了解研究转化为社会效益创新的过程。

This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award creates an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in bio-innovation that will cultivate trainees? abilities to develop clinically relevant biomedical technologies and devices leading to commercial products. This program couples research with entrepreneurship to develop graduates who can lead the creation of innovative and cost-effective solutions to complex biomedical problems.Intellectual Merit: Trainees will complete a bio-innovation curriculum that includes courses in entrepreneurship, marketing and intellectual property, and an FDA internship where they will learn device regulation and establish non-academic research collaborations. Business plans will be developed with colleagues in Tulane?s schools of Business, Law and Medicine. Research projects will center on drug delivery with application in regenerative medicine, biosensors or therapeutic materials.Broader Impact: This project will provide exceptional opportunities to a wide variety of students. IGERT trainees will learn first-hand about entrepreneurship, intellectual property and regulation. Teamwork interactions will educate non-scientists about transformational research approaches. Historically underrepresented groups will be recruited through established relationships with diversity programs at Tulane University and through direct ties to SACNAS and Xavier University. Finally, the development of new technologies and devices will expand economic development and reinforce the burgeoning biomedical industry of the New Orleans region.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to establish new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, and to engage students in understanding the processes by which research is translated to innovations for societal benefit.
