Academic entrepreneurship centers differ: the more comprehensive ones provide an array of services that support innovations at all stages of development. Universities often have educational programs to teach faculty about entrepreneurship; usually offered in business schools, they are increasingly being offered in engineering and medical programs. Entrepreneurship education increasingly involves experiential learning. Other entrepreneurial support at academic institutions includes: incubators, accelerators, mentoring, business plan competitions, and other programs that support the creation and maturation of startups. University seed funds can help early-stage startups breach the funding gap and attract new investors. Technology transfer offices (TTOs) focus on intellectual property (IP) protection for innovations stemming from university research, and increasingly provide other services and linkages that support the commercialization of innovations.Publication Clinical and Translational Science Awards(2019-10-08) Coons, Barbara; Gooneratne, NalakaFor latest version: please go to https://academicentrepreneurship.pubpub.org/pub/clinical-translational-science-awards/release/2 Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) are large federal grants provided to an academic institution that support education and infrastructure relevant to translational science.

A key first step is to choose the appropriate academic track that values and/or allows time for entrepreneurial activities. Then, as with all faculty members, you need to remain aware of the criteria for promotion and maintain and regularly review your dossier to ensure that you are making academic progress. Entrepreneurial activities can be integrated into the academic promotion process but are not traditionally valued. Seek guidance on how best to frame them as part of your dossier. A proactive approach that considers a five-to-seven-year timeline can mitigate stress and help you reach your career goals.
