growth and investment: market-oriented and community-engaged TR. TRANSFORM will strategically invest in the overarching infrastructure, processes, and policies that serve to increase institutional efficiencies, create a culture of faculty engagement, and generate a more diverse range of partners. We will update our institutions to make them more responsive to TR by carrying out the following six objectives:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Develop administrative, data, communication, and collaboration infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Deliver professional and mentoring development opportunities<\/li>\n<li>Establish an entrepreneurship ecosystem<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen collaborative relationships with community partners<\/li>\n<li>Build out the Office of Technology Transfer<\/li>\n<li>Revise university-level promotion and tenure policies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"l-container--thin\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"s-content l-container--inner--no-padding\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"g-row g-row--panel-1col\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"columns\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"g-col t-content\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"1\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-index=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"column_content\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-autop=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n    \n\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2793,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/page-department-landing.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Transform - Translational Research<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Boise State&#039;s TRANSFORM project is bridging the gap between research and real-world solutions.
