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.

该项目旨在通过从传统的技术转让和许可转向受使用启发和行业知情的研发道路以及商业化，实现宾汉姆顿大学研究转化模式的现代化。该项目将解决关键的文化和资源差距，包括研究社区参与度有限、研究社区参与度低等。对以使用为灵感的研发的认识和实施、对商业化过程缺乏了解、技术验证和转化资源不足、以及宾厄姆顿超越创新生态系统中女性和少数族裔的代表性不足，这些都将增加组织的支持和影响能力。广泛的制度变革，大规模验证和部署更新的研究转化模型，该模型植根于促进使用启发的研发。该项目将开展针对特定阶段的能力建设活动，以应对现有挑战并“获取”、“保持”和“成长”大学的研究创新者、突破性发明、研究转化成果和新企业基地在整个技术转化途径中提供高接触性和全面的支持框架，EXCEED 将通过一对一的方式激活校园研究社区。启动预加速器培训和实习计划，加速行业​​推广，以促进使用启发型研发 (KEEP)，并提供原型设计和验证资助导师，以及初创公司启动支持 (GROW)。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被视为值得通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
