The potential outcomes of this application include: (1) Curriculum development and the creation of internship opportunities within an entrepreneurship in biotechnology focused program; (2) a greater representation of diverse researchers within biotech entrepreneurship in Southeast Louisiana with the potential to expand across the U.S.; (3) a tangible number of students from diverse backgrounds who can go on to pursue advance degrees and employment opportunities within the biotechnology sector; and (4) a pipeline of individuals who will value the importance of the responsible conduct of research, and apply those ethics to create their own companies as entrepreneurs, or their own training programs as educators or researchers within various biotechnology fields. This Small Business Innovation Research application addresses an identified challenge and unmet gap in curriculum development that combines exposure to fundamental concepts in both biotechnology research and entrepreneurial development and provides a pathway to create opportunities for a more diverse workforce. Unlike existing curricula, the proposed programming does not have the goal of promoting careers exclusively in academia or biotechnology. The intention is to leverage the diverse background and training of professionals at Obatala Sciences, Delgado Community College, Xavier University of Louisiana, and the University of New Orleans, to give students greater insight into the opportunities that exist and the relevance of maintaining the responsible conduct of research within all stages of their career. Such a program is a complement to any set of traditional business and/or research courses and provides a mechanism to reinforce some of the necessary elements of success within research in biotechnology and entrepreneurship. Obatala anticipates achievement of the following outcomes: Firstly, it will implement coursework and accompanying teaching tools that focus on entrepreneurship in biotechnology and are adaptable across multiple teaching platforms and programs that are designed to give greater exposure to opportunities in entrepreneurship. Secondly, it will create a pipeline of interns and professionals who can apply lessons learned from their executive MBA or entrepreneurship programs to multiple facets of their careers and take these fundamentals with them to other opportunities throughout the nation. Thirdly, it will create a success metric that can be applied to programs that are designed to promote diversity in research and entrepreneurship. By incorporating one or all of these innovations to the current approach to teaching biotechnology, Obatala will introduce an adaptable teaching model with impacts spanning academic and industry researchers and entrepreneurs, across fields including therapeutics and regenerative medicine. Obatala will position itself as a leader that not only promotes diversity in research, but also in training the next generation of researchers and promoting the highest standards of ethics and the responsible conduct of research. Such activity has potential to positively impact the current perception of the role of entrepreneurship in research in a global scale.

该申请的潜在成果包括：（1）在生物技术创业项目中开发课程并创造实习机会； (2) 路易斯安那州东南部生物技术创业领域的多元化研究人员具有更大的代表性，并有可能扩展到美国各地； (3) 有一定数量的来自不同背景的学生可以继续攻读生物技术领域的高级学位和就业机会； (4) 一批重视负责任的研究行为的重要性的个人，并应用这些道德规范作为企业家创建自己的公司，或在各个生物技术领域作为教育者或研究人员创建自己的培训项目。该小型企业创新研究应用程序解决了课程开发中已确定的挑战和未满足的差距，该应用程序结合了生物技术研究和创业发展中的基本概念，并提供了为更加多元化的劳动力创造机会的途径。与现有课程不同，拟议的课程并没有专门促进学术界或生物技术领域的职业发展。目的是利用奥巴塔拉科学学院、德尔加多社区学院、路易斯安那泽维尔大学和新奥尔良大学专业人士的多元化背景和培训，让学生更深入地了解现有的机会以及保持负责任行为的相关性在其职业生涯的各个阶段进行研究。这样的计划是对任何一套传统商业和/或研究课程的补充，并提供了一种机制来加强生物技术和创业研究成功的一些必要要素。奥巴塔拉预计将取得以下成果：首先，它将实施以生物技术创业为重点的课程和配套教学工具，并可适应多种教学平台和项目，旨在提供更多的创业机会。其次，它将创建一批实习生和专业人士，他们可以将从高管 MBA 或创业项目中学到的经验教训应用到职业生涯的多个方面，并将这些基础知识运用到全国各地的其他机会中。第三，它将创建一个成功指标，可应用于旨在促进研究和创业多样性的项目。通过将这些创新中的一项或全部融入到当前的生物技术教学方法中，奥巴塔拉将引入一种适应性强的教学模式，该模式将对学术和行业研究人员以及企业家产生影响，涵盖治疗学和再生医学等领域。奥巴塔拉将自己定位为领导者，不仅促进研究多样性，而且培训下一代研究人员，促进最高道德标准和负责任的研究行为。此类活动有可能对当前全球范围内创业在研究中的作用的看法产生积极影响。
