Innovation
A process of transforming knowledge and scientific
research into a new product in the marketplace.
Think of that process
as a sequence of
related activities
Research Invention Proof Commercialization Product
With this
intended
outcome
Innovation
Each activity has inputs,
outputs, associated
documents and artifacts
With this
intended
outcome
Innovation
Each activity involves people
and organizations producing
intermediate outcomes
Contributing to
this intended
innovation outcome
Innovation
The people and organizations
from each activity
create an activity network
Activities become sequences through
shared people and organizations,
citations, and other linkages
With this
intended
outcome
Innovation Ecosystems
Innovation networks with embedded knowledge & resources along
with intermediaries comprise Innovation Ecosystems.
Activity networks combine to
form innovation networks.
The Regenerative Medicine cluster (ecosystem) in Howard County, MD
Combining two activities:
NSF# 1551041 and today’s presentation
NSF# 1551041 activity network
Innovation Metrics
Some are based
on organizations
& resources
None are
based on
intended
outcome
Some are
based on inputs
Some are
based on outputs
Some are
based
on talent
Some are
comparative indexes

Modeling Innovation Sequences with EventFlow
We use newly developed EventFlow
software to model innovation in drugs and
medical devices from multiple datasets:
• RePORTER_PATENTS_C_ALL
• RePORTER_CLINICAL_STUDIES_C_ALL
• CTTI AACT Database
• FDA Orange Book (drugs)
• Drugs@FDA
• Pre-Market Approvals (PMA) (med devices)
• SBIR/STTR (pending)
• CrunchBase (pending)
• NSF (pending)
Supporting and core data sources
• NIH RePORTER
• PatentsView
• USASpending
• STARMETRICS
http://hcil.umd.edu/eventflow/
A Quick Tour of EventFlow
Each product (drug or medical device)
is a record in EventFlow
(34,331 records)
Event categories:
• Clinical Trials (commercialization activity)
• FDA Approval (proxy for product launch)
• Patents (invention)
• Research
Overview (Aggregation) Individual Timelines
Product-Based Innovation Metrics
Temporal Metrics
How long does innovation take?
How many activities are involved?
What types?
In what sequence?
How long does each take?
Are there gaps?
Is the sequence pattern common
or rare?
How long does innovation take? (drugs)
From:
Patent application
 FDA approval
(26 products)
How long does innovation take? (drugs)
From:
Patent application
 FDA approval
(product launch)
(884 drugs in the
FDA Orange Book)
How long does innovation take? (med devices)
From:
Start of clinical trials
 FDA approval
(1,225 medical devices)

  1. 3:00
  2. This slide begins a short series of slides that starts with a broad definition of innovation, then establishes a framework for thinking about innovation as a temporal sequence of connected events. Each slide in the series adds a layer of information that transforms the abstract concept of innovation into a data-driven model.
  3. Inputs and outputs are the basis for how we measure innovation now and are a familiar reference point. Associating individual activities with documents or artifacts sets up the linkages to data sources.
  4. From the data sources we can identify people and organizations involved, which sets up the creation of network models. This slide also introduces the notion of intermediate outcomes from the innovation perspective – things like patents and publications – that may be final outcomes from the perspective of the people working on them. Innovation is not everyone’s goal.
  5. This introduces the idea of an activity network – the building block of innovation networks and ecosystems.
  6. Finally we layer on the data and linkages to show how the activities connect to each other to form temporal sequences.
  7. This slide parallels the previous slide but from the activity network to innovation network to innovation ecosystem perspective.
  8. Where innovation metrics come from now, and more importantly, where they do not. Total elapsed time to the end of this slide is 4:00.
  9. This slide shows the EventFlow screen with the overall data model we have constructed so far, and identifies the data sources we use.
  10. Introduces the basics of EventFlow
  11. This slide shows the 26 drugs that we can trace – at least partially – from research to final approval. It also frames innovation activities from the perspective of products and lists some of the important questions we can ask and important temporal metrics we can derive from analysis with EventFlow (and CoCo).
  12. The distribution and statistics for our 26 drug sample. Measures from first patent application date to final approval date.
  13. The distribution and statistics for all drugs we have data on. Measures from first patent application date to final approval date.
  14. A similar look at medical devices using clinical trials and final approval dates. Introduces the measurement of gaps.
  15. Continues the previous slide, introducing the concepts of overlaps and of visualizing patterns in the overview panel of EventFlow. There are two general sequence patterns in the data. The images on the previous slide showed sequence patterns for which clinical trials were completed, followed by a lag, followed by FDA approval. The other pattern, shown here on the right has FDA approvals overlapping the span of clinical trials.
  16. We prepared network models fir the Illinois Science & Technology Roadmap. One of those was for the Battery Cluster. From an academic perspective, one of the things we noticed was that the activities tended to be organized into two main components – research and industry – with a small group of activities that seemed to span these two components. We’ll call this third component the bridge – show here in collapsed form as simply a gray band.
  17. Then we recognized similarities between the network graph and our graphic of the so-called “valley of death’. We realized that we might actually be looking at a network representation of that valley of death. If that was the case, what would we expect to find in the bridge? 1) corporate sponsored research; 2) SBIR / STTR’s; 3) intermediaries like accelerators and incubators; and 4) public-private partnerships like federal labs. When we opened up the bridge for a closer look, that is exactly what we found.
  18. This allows us to frame a new working hypothesis about innovation ecosystems and the differences in innovation outcomes between different regions. And the new temporal metrics we are developing with NSF should allow us to test that hypothesis soon. So for us the value of University Centers is this diversity of partnerships around the tasks of developing new methods and metrics; developing new tools and solving practical economic development problems; and synthesizing those activities into new knowledge and understanding about the nature of innovation and its impact on economic growth.
  19. As a practical matter innovation ecosystems and regional innovation clusters are the same thing. Here we show one ecosystem / cluster for regenerative medicine in Howard County Maryland, comprised of those aggregated activity networks. This small, emerging cluster does not show up in traditional cluster analysis because 1) the activity is too recent and 2) the activity is not organized according to existing NAICS codes. Thus this analysis was valuable to Howard County Economic Development. Each group includes people and organizations that are connected based on what they are working on together. The graph is organized with the largest, most connected group in the upper left and the smallest, least connected group in the lower right. It turns out that this layout is useful in helping to organize and target different types of economic development strategies to specific companies and groups so that the overall cluster strategy appropriately targets limited resources for effective economic development. The interactive network tool allows economic developers to zoom in and explore different parts of the cluster in detail. Users can also click on certain nodes to get more detailed information. This interactive network model was build using NodeXL – developed in part by the same computer scientists who created EventFlow.
