Keynote Address: It Takes an Ecosystem: Incentive, Partnership, and Impact Design is Critical to Advancing Technologies and Sustaining Translation Culture.
Research is moving through an evolution as it relates to impact orientation and an emphasis on researcher development. With the CHIPS and Science Act – the largest authorization of U.S. research and development funding in decades – there is momentum to increase the development and effects of ecosystems on the capacity to advance innovation for societal and economic impact. Ecosystems require culture for sustainability, and culture requires the right incentives, partnerships, and impact goals to be effective. For the translation of biomedical research, the NIH Proof of Concept Network has done well to initiate ecosystems and culture, but we still have work to do.
