Development of an Educational Product for Accelerating Solutions for Commercialization and Entrepreneurial Development (ASCEND) in Western IDeA States
Description: Project Narrative Translating bench science to the patient and the public faces many challenges, particularly in IDeA states. The objective of this proposal is to develop an educational product to promote and develop biomedical entrepreneurship in the Western IDeA states, addressing the specific needs of both IDeA state academic institutions in developing and strengthening technology transfer programs that stimulate technological innovation, as well as the needs of IDeA state university investigators and innovators (from students to faculty) in translating scientific discoveries and technologies from research laboratories into commercial products that improve human health and promote economic growth in IDeA states. The product of this initiative will constitute a comprehensive, sustainable educational, mentoring and consulting product to accelerate biomedical entrepreneurship and create the next generation of entrepreneurs.
