Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Summit: A Seismic Shift in Promotion and Tenure

该奖项将支持对创新和创业(I&amp；E)成就所产生的知识和成果的价值和纳入的评估，作为全国高等教育中大学教师晋升和终身教职(P&amp；T)决策的额外组成部分。这项工作将促进科学进步，促进国家富强。能够更有效地将大学教师的智力能力与创新经济相结合，将对社会和美国经济产生深远而广泛的影响。这一努力将吸引广泛的高等教育--包括主要是本科院校(PUI)到研究1(R1)的博士生大学[包括为少数群体服务的机构，如历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)、部落学院和大学(TCU)和西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)]。这一目标的关键将是为来自不同高等教育领域的参与者提供一个为期数天的峰会，讨论这一主题的可能性，并为下一步行动提出建议。此外，还将进行一次峰会前的调查，以更好地了解全国现有的P&T指南中纳入I&A；E标准的现状。该提案要求支持在2020年春夏举办一场为期一天半的活动，题为“创新与创业(I&amp；E)峰会：晋升和任期的地震转变(P&amp；T)”。本次峰会的目的是召集范围广泛的高等教育，讨论以证据为基础的数据、实验知识和创新和创业成就产生的影响成果的价值和纳入，作为国家高等教育P&T决策的额外组成部分。本次峰会的参与者包括主要是本科生机构(PUI)和研究1(R1)的博士生大学[包括为少数群体服务的机构，如历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)、部落学院和大学(TCU)和为拉美裔服务的机构(HSI)]，以及直接影响这一社区的组织。本次峰会的总体目标是：(A)在全国各地的大学中传播P&amp；E的现状；(B)提供个别教职员工、管理人员和行业领袖的案例研究，展示P&amp；T；内部I&amp；E的影响；(C)促进高等教育生态系统之间对I&amp；E；的沟通和信息共享；以及(D)为各个大学制定最佳实践和路线图，以增强其各自的P&amp；T准则，以便更全面地支持教职员工之间的I&amp；E。注：就本文件而言，“大学”一词将包括所有高等教育机构。能够更有效地将我们大学教师的智力能力与创新经济相结合，将对社会和美国经济产生深远而广泛的影响。创新与创业(I&amp；E)方面的工作不仅对教师的职业生涯产生了积极的影响，而且大学将更好地定位于实现自己围绕创新与创业的机构战略目标。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The award will support the evaluation of the value and inclusion of knowledge and outcomes derived from innovation and entrepreneurial (I&E) achievements as additional components in Promotion and Tenure (P&T) decisions for university faculty in higher education nationally. This work will promote the progress of science and to advance national prosperity. The ability to more effectively align the intellectual capabilities of university faculty with an innovation economy will have profound, broad reaching impacts for society and the American economy. This effort will engage the broad spectrum of higher education - including primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to research 1 (R1) doctoral universities [including minority- serving institutions such as historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and Hispanic serving institutions (HSIs)]. Key to this objective will be the delivery of a multi-day summit for constituents from a diverse cross-section of higher education to discuss possible the topic and make recommendations for next steps. In addition, a pre-summit survey will be performed to gain a better understanding the current state of incorporation of I&E criteria within existing P&T guidelines across the Nation. This proposal requests support for the planning and delivery of a one and a half day event in Spring/Summer 2020 entitled "Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Summit: A Seismic Shift in Promotion and Tenure (P&T)." The purpose of this summit is to convene the broad spectrum of higher education to discuss the value and inclusion of evidence-based data, experimental knowledge and impact outcomes derived from innovation and entrepreneurial achievements as additional components in P&T decisions for higher education nationally. The constituents to be involved in this Summit range from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to research 1 (R1) doctoral universities [including minority- serving institutions such as historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and Hispanic serving institutions (HSIs)], as well as organizations directly impacting this community. The overarching goals of this summit are to: (a) disseminate the current status of I&E within P&T amongst universities from across the Nation; (b) provide case studies from individual faculty, administrators and industry leaders demonstrating the impact of I&E within P&T; (c) foster communication and information sharing amongst the higher education ecosystem on I&E; and (d) develop best practices and road map for individual universities to augment their individual P&T guidelines to more inclusively support I&E amongst their faculty. Note: For the purpose of this document, the word "university" will serve as encompassing all institutions of higher education. The ability to more effectively align the intellectual capabilities of our university faculty with an innovation economy will have profound, broad reaching impacts for society and the American economy. Not only are faculty's professional careers be positively impacted by this work in innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E), the universities will be better positioned to accomplish their own institutional strategic goals focused around I&E.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
