I-Corps EAGER: UC Biomedical Research Acceleration, Integration, and Development (UC BRAID/CAI) I-Corps Hub Proposal

该提案寻求对加州大学生物医学研究加速、整合和发展（UC BRAID/CAI） I-Corps中心联盟的支持，这是加州大学医学院之间的一项协调努力，旨在促进加州大学生物医学研究的转化和加速有前途的技术。校区包括：戴维斯、尔湾、洛杉矶、圣地亚哥和旧金山。该项目将实施培训和教育课程，通过利用加州大学洛杉矶分校的加州大学加速创新中心（UC CAI）的基础设施，以及美国国家科学基金会批准的LLP课程，通过获取帮助起草最初的生命科学/医疗保健精益启动平台（由加州大学旧金山分校主持）的经验和知识，培训加州大学BRAID校园的企业家。该课程将提供现实世界的实践教育和培训，以了解创办一家可扩展的公司所需的知识。I-Corps中心将利用UC CAI的培训和教育重点，并能够提供：1)世界一流的科学和临床研究，产生一系列可能处于商业化边缘的技术；2)领导NSF I-Corps生命科学/医疗保健教育，这将有助于为其组成校园提供强大的服务；3)利用加州大学CAI建立的基础设施，在加州大学校园（以及跨部门和学院）提供教育和培训内容，以吸引各级企业家；4)强大而成熟的课程，鼓励创业，网络，跨学科团队建设和世界一流的教学和指导，为所有感兴趣的企业家。

The proposal seeks support for a UC Biomedical Research Acceleration, Integration, and Development (UC BRAID/CAI) I-Corps Hub consortium, a coordinated effort among the UC medical campuses with the goal of facilitating translation and accelerating promising technologies at the UCs. The campuses include: Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. The program will implement a training and education curriculum in order to train entrepreneurs on the UC BRAID campuses by leveraging the infrastructure of the UC Center for Accelerated Innovation (UC CAI) housed at UCLA, along with the NSF-approved LLP curriculum - through accessing the experience and knowledge that helped draft the initial Lean Launch Pad for Life Science/Healthcare (that was hosted by UCSF). The course will provide real world, hands-on education and training on what it is needed to start a scalable company. The I-Corps Hub will leverage UC CAI's training and education emphasis and be able to provide: 1) world-class scientific and clinical research that generates a flow of technologies which are potentially on the brink of commercialization; 2) leadership in NSF I-Corps education for life science/healthcare that will help deliver a strong offering to its component campuses; 3) utilization of the infrastructure built by the UC CAI to deliver education and training components across the UC campuses (as well as across departments and schools) to attract entrepreneurs at all levels; and 4) robust and proven curriculum that encourages entrepreneurship, networking, interdisciplinary team building and world-class teaching and mentorship to all levels of interested entrepreneurs.
