About Accelerated Research Translation

From the National Science Foundation's ART Program:

• The first important expected outcome of the ART program is growing the capacity for research translation and creating and strengthening the institutional innovation ecosystem to be more robust and sustainable.
• The second expected outcome is that ART will serve as a model for IHEs to create a new genre of postdoctoral researchers and graduate students who will successfully pursue translation-focused career pathways and enable societal and economic impacts through their work.
• The third outcome expected from this program is creating a network of 'ART Ambassadors' from different institutions throughout the United States.

Wyoming ART Program Objectives

The University of Wyoming seeks to create a translational research accelerator program which fulfills state and federal mandates critically necessary to build the economic prosperity of Wyoming.

ART will provide developmental training and capacity-building based on market-driven principles for translation of innovations for the public good.

 

Leadership, Mentorship, and Training

Vice-President for Research and Economic Development, Parag Chitnis, PhD, is the Principal Investigator for the ART program with UW President, Ed Seidel, and UW (insert title), Arundeep Pradhan serving as co-principal investigators

UW has selected two partners to provide mentorship and training for the ART program. Colorado State University’s CSU STRATA staff will serve as mentors for the UW technology transfer office as it seeks to reorganize and re-engineer technology transfer at the University. Apio Innovation Transfer will provide training and hands-on commercialization and translational research support to students, faculty, and staff.
