National Institute on Aging (NIA) REDI Skill for ENtrepreneurs for Elder Solutions (SENES) fellowship program Project Summary/Abstract The University City Science Center (UCSC) will launch a 12-month immersive fellowship, “Skill for ENtrepreneurs for Elder Solutions fellowship program (SENES).” SENES is Latin for “elderly,” and the program will provide specific and meaningful support for PhD, Medical Doctor (MD), or graduate-level students or recent graduates from an entrepreneurial education perspective. SENES raises participants’ awareness and potential application areas of solutions the founders may be developing related to the cognitive and functional impact of aging and/or Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). SENES is a year-long educational experience that will provide a five-founder cohort (annually; 25 over five years) with six months of hands-on learning punctuated with an “elder solutions” capstone project in month six. The second six months of the fellowship will be an active and supported technology translation in one of tracks, all supported by medical faculty and aging- focused advisors as well as the experienced commercialization team at UCSC. Track 1: Entrepreneurial – Fellows build off their capstone project to begin hitting milestones in developing their venture, raising venture capital, applying for SBIR. Track 2: Non-Entrepreneurial – Fellows explore a non-venture research project related to translation of research and development (R&D) or academic applications of lessons learned. SENES has a focus on providing exposure and opportunity to convert the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial concepts (explicit knowledge) into applied and understood entrepreneurship focused activities (tacit knowledge). We will expose founders to the aging market for their solutions in a practical and material way. It is hypothesized that students participating in the program will be better positioned for success in their commercialization efforts, resulting in more successful technology-based startups from NIH-funded and supported researchers. SENES will also leverage government investment by increasing the likelihood of success of private capital conduct evaluation of fellows over a five-year period to measure career trajectory and increases in entrepreneurial literacy and entrepreneurial success. The overall opportunity for the SENES fellowship is to redefine the thinking about traditional innovation and entrepreneurial training to create better outcomes for academic-based founders. If successful, this model could become another tool in federal innovation and support programming for scientific founders in the future.

国家老龄化研究所 (NIA) REDI 老年人解决方案企业家技能 (SENES) 奖学金计划 项目概要/摘要 大学城科学中心 (UCSC) 将启动为期 12 个月的沉浸式奖学金项目“技能 老年人解决方案企业家奖学金计划 (SENES) 是拉丁语。” “老年人”，该计划将为博士、医学博士提供具体且有意义的支持 （MD），或研究生水平的学生或刚刚从创业教育毕业的学生 SENES 提高参与者的意识和解决方案的潜在应用领域。 创始人可能正在开发与衰老和/或对认知和功能的影响有关的 阿尔茨海默病和阿尔茨海默病相关痴呆症 (AD/ADRD)。 SENES 是一项为期一年的教育体验，将提供五位创始人群体（每年； 五年内 25 次），为期六个月的实践学习，中间穿插着“较早的解决方案” 第六个月的顶点项目将是研究金的后六个月。 支持其中一个轨道的技术翻译，全部由医学院和老龄化部门支持 UCSC 专注的顾问以及经验丰富的商业化团队。 第 1 轨道：创业——研究员们构建他们的顶点项目，开始在以下领域实现里程碑 发展他们的企业、筹集风险资本、申请 SBIR。 轨道 2：非创业——研究员探索与以下相关的非风险研究项目 研究与开发 (R&D) 的转化或经验教训的学术应用。 SENES 的重点是提供曝光和机会来转换理论 将创业概念（显性知识）理解为应用和理解 以创业为中心的活动（隐性知识）我们将让创始人接触老龄化。 以实用和物质的方式推销他们的解决方案。 参与该计划将更好地使其商业化取得成功 努力，导致 NIH 资助和支持的基于技术的初创企业更加成功 SENES 还将通过增加可能性来利用政府投资。 私人资本的成功在五年内对研究员进行评估以衡量 职业轨迹以及创业素养和创业成功的提高。 SENES 奖学金的总体机会是重新定义传统的思维 创新和创业培训，为学术创始人创造更好的成果。 如果成功，该模式可能成为联邦创新和支持的另一个工具 为未来的科学创始人编程。
