The Leveraging Innovation to Grow High Tech and University Partnerships (LIGHT UP) Collaborative is multi-institution collaborative grant including the following institutions: State University of New York College of Technology at Canton, Rowan College of Burlington County, Marymount University, Alvernia University, Kean University, and Bowie State University. This collaborative aims to establish a community of practice to develop and enhance a research and innovation ecosystem that capitalizes on external partnerships to shape the STEM talent pipeline and workforce development. The LIGHT UP Collaborative, made up of six mid-Atlantic and Northeast institutions, represents a strategic region nationally in terms of STEM workforce development and industry clusters and is one of the most diverse regions in the country. The collaborative will make a significant impact on STEM industries by establishing a regional network to build capacity and capitalize on the strengths of each institution to advance research, entrepreneurship, and workforce development. Efforts will result in the promotion of innovative teaching, learning, and training for both faculty and students. Extending student experience beyond research and discovery into real-world application contributes to advancing technological innovation and STEM workforce development. Linking research with entrepreneurship drives the innovation needed for our nation to remain globally competitive.The LIGHT UP Collaborative project aims to advance a research-driven entrepreneurial enterprise and expand external partnerships. The project is designed to engage STEM students and faculty in a research-to-research entrepreneur full life-cycle approach to harness STEM talent in a regional innovation ecosystem that extends throughout the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. The project will leverage each institution’s resources and expertise to develop and enhance an innovation research ecosystem and broaden current efforts in research commercialization and entrepreneurship. The LIGHT UP Collaborative focuses on three goals that will: (1) expand and improve each institutions’ structural support systems for economic development initiatives; (2) build a platform to drive more industry and government partnerships; and (3) increase innovation enterprise development. The LIGHT UP Collaborative will serve as a model for capacity building and partnership engagement through a community of practice.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.

利用创新发展高科技和大学合作伙伴关系 (LIGHT UP) 合作项目是多机构合作资助项目，包括以下机构：纽约州立大学坎顿分校、伯灵顿县罗文学院、玛丽蒙特大学、阿尔维尼亚大学、基恩大学该合作旨在建立一个实践社区，以开发和加强研究和创新生态系统，利用外部合作伙伴关系来塑造 STEM 人才管道和劳动力发展。该合作机构由六家大西洋中部和东北部机构组成，代表了全国 STEM 劳动力发展和产业集群的战略区域，也是美国最多元化的地区之一。该合作机构将对 STEM 行业产生重大影响。建立区域网络来建设能力并利用每个机构的优势来促进研究、创业和劳动力发展，这将促进教师和学生的创新教学、学习和培训，从而将学生的经验扩展到研究之外。并发现现实世界的应用有助于推动技术创新和 STEM 劳动力发展，推动我们国家保持全球竞争力所需的创新。LIGHT UP 合作项目旨在推进研究驱动型创业企业并扩大外部合作伙伴关系。该项目旨在让 STEM 学生和教师参与研究到研究企业家的全生命周期方法，以在遍布大西洋中部和东北地区的区域创新生态系统中利用 STEM 人才。该项目将利用每个机构的资源和资源。需要发展的专业知识加强创新研究生态系统，扩大当前在研究商业化和创业方面的努力。LIGHT UP Collaborative 重点关注三个目标：(1) 扩大和改善每个机构对经济发展举措的结构性支持系统；(2) 建立一个平台。推动更多行业和政府合作；(3) 促进创新企业发展通过评估提供支持基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
