PROJECT SUMMARY OUTREACH CORE The Outreach Core (OC) will be a multi-faceted arm of NeuroTech Harbor (NTH) to seek out high-risk, high- reward technology ideas in the neurotechnology fields. Building on the Equitech mission and vision of NTH, we will foster an inclusive environment where the brightest, most responsive neurotechnology ideas from anywhere or anyone in the US will be guided towards clinical and commercial success. NTH is committed to diversity and inclusion during early-stage translation as a major critical step towards creating long-term clinical and social impact. To execute our outreach plan, we present the following aims: (Aim 1) To perform rigorous needs assessments on an annual basis, driven by both primary and secondary research, to inform solicitations. (Aim 2) To drive broad awareness with targeted marketing of solicitations and generate high quality responses. (Aim 3) To form an NTH Institute for education and innovator leadership to increase success of innovators and as a pipeline for founding teams with women and URM inclusivity. For each solicitation cycle, we will work with our Steering Committee and Governing Board to (i) identify technology gaps in diagnostics and therapeutics for disorders of the nervous system, mental health and aging, (ii) identify needs for solutions in specific areas from a clinical perspective, and (iii) understand the needs of underserved patients, families, and advocacy group partners. We plan to synthesize and create solicitations that balance each stakeholder's perspective and needs. An initial needs assessment and solicitation are complete. Building on our prior experience with outreach for incubators and accelerator programs at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and Howard University (HU), we will broadly communicate our solicitation launch with a comprehensive marketing and communication strategy. We will make coordinated efforts to ensure prospective applicants meet the criteria of solicitations by providing high customer service with “Pitch Days” for directed feedback and with educational assistance on proposal writing. Our goal is to continuously improve our responsive rate. Given the challenges when embarking on early-stage translation, we are ready to serve and prepare Innovators for the journey, with a focus on the inclusion of women, Black, LatinX, and communities of color. To do so, we will create an NTH Institute to educate, train, and level the playing field for Innovators from low- resource environments. The Institute will curate all learning elements (e.g., workshops, boot camps), tackling topics including translation readiness, commercialization, professional development, and project management. It will also launch a “Spark” program targeted to all STEM students across the HBCUs and minority serving institutions (MSIs) to introduce the neurotech field and the opportunities it unveils. To further enhance the diversity of Innovator teams and meet our goals for inclusion, we will facilitate team building by working closely with the Evaluation Core to create a closed feedback loop with solicited proposal Innovator teams. Finally, we will invite the BP consortium and their communities to participate and gain from the NTH Institute. .

项目摘要外展核心 Outreach Core (OC) 将成为 NeuroTech Harbor (NTH) 的一个多方面部门，旨在寻找高风险、高 基于 Equitech 的使命和 NTH 的愿景，我们奖励神经技术领域的技术创意。 将营造一个包容性的环境，汇聚来自世界各地最聪明、反应最灵敏的神经技术想法 或美国的任何人都将被引导走向临床和商业成功 NTH 致力于多样性和 早期翻译阶段的包容性是创建长期临床和社会的关键一步 为了执行我们的外展计划，我们提出以下目标：（目标 1）满足严格的需求。 在初级和二级研究的推动下，每年进行一次评估，为招标提供信息。 2) 通过有针对性的招标营销来提高广泛的认知度并产生高质量的响应。 3) 成立 NTH 教育和创新领导力学院，以提高创新者的成功率，并作为 具有女性和 URM 包容性的创始团队的管道。 对于每个征集周期，我们将与指导委员会和理事会合作， (i) 确定 神经系统疾病、心理健康和衰老的诊断和治疗方面的技术差距， (ii) 从临床角度确定特定领域的解决方案需求，以及 (iii) 了解以下人员的需求： 我们计划综合并创建以下活动： 平衡每个利益相关者的观点和需求。初步需求评估和征求已经完成。 基于我们之前在约翰·霍普金斯大学开展孵化器和加速器项目的经验 大学 (JHU) 和霍华德大学 (HU)，我们将广泛宣传我们的征集活动 我们将协调一致的营销和传播策略，以确保前瞻性。 申请人通过提供高质量的客户服务来满足征集标准，并通过“推介日”进行定向 我们的目标是不断改进我们的建议。 鉴于早期翻译面临的挑战，我们已准备好提供服务和服务。 为创新之旅做好准备，重点关注女性、黑人、拉丁裔和社区的包容性 颜色。 为此，我们将创建 NTH 学院，为低收入创新者提供教育、培训和公平竞争环境。 该研究所将策划所有学习元素（例如研讨会、训练营）、谈判。 主题包括翻译准备、商业化、专业发展和项目管理。 它还将针对 HBCU 和少数族裔服务的所有 STEM 学生推出“Spark”计划 机构（MSI）介绍神经技术领域及其带来的机遇。 创新者团队的多样性并实现我们的包容性目标，我们将通过密切合作促进团队建设 与评估核心一起创建一个与征求提案创新团队的闭环反馈循环。 将邀请BP财团及其社区参与并从NTH研究所中获益。 。
