ART: Binghamton Excellence in Entrepreneurship and Discovery

该项目旨在使宾厄姆顿大学的科研翻译模式现代化，从传统的技术转让和许可转向受使用启发和行业信息的研发路径，再到商业化。该项目将解决关键的文化和资源差距，包括研究界参与有限、对以使用为启发的研发的认识和实施程度低、对商业化进程缺乏了解、用于技术验证和翻译的资源不足以及妇女和少数群体在创新生态系统中的代表性不足。Binghamton Except将提高组织的认可度和影响广泛制度变革的能力，验证并大规模部署以培养受使用启发的R&A；D为基础的最新研究翻译模式。该项目将开展特定阶段的能力建设活动，以应对现有挑战，并“获得”、“保持”和“发展”大学的研究创新者、突破性发明、研究翻译成果和新企业的基础。通过在技术转化过程中提供高接触和全面的支持框架，Except将通过一对一指导以及活动、研讨会和课程设置(GET)来激活校园研究社区，启动加速器前培训和实习计划，并加快行业推广，以促进受使用启发的研发(Keep)，并提供原型和验证资金，以及创业启动支持(Growth)。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。

This project aims to modernize the research translation model at Binghamton University by shifting from traditional technology transfer and licensing to use-inspired and industry-informed R&D path to commercialization. The project will address key cultural and resource gaps, including limited research community engagement, low awareness and implementation of use-inspired R&D, lack of understanding of the commercialization process, insufficient resources for technology validation and translation, and underrepresentation of women and minorities in the innovation ecosystem. Binghamton EXCEED will grow the organizational buy-in and capacity to affect broad institutional change, validating and deploying at scale an updated model of research translation rooted in fostering use-inspired R&D.The project will pursue stage-specific capacity-building activities to address existing challenges and to 'get', 'keep' and 'grow' the university’s base of research innovators, ground-breaking inventions, research translation outputs, and new ventures. Providing a high-touch and comprehensive support framework across the technology translation pathway, EXCEED will activate the campus research community through one-on-one mentoring as well as events, seminars, and curricular offerings (GET), launch pre-accelerator training and internship programs and accelerate industry outreach to foster use-inspired R&D (KEEP), and provide prototyping and validation funding, as well as startup launch support (GROW).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.
