== UIF Pitch ==

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQmcctlJelQ&edit=vd

== Overall Objective ==

To Change the culture of the university's students, administration, and institution to that of innovation and entrepreneurship.

== #1 Create an entrepreneurship club ==

{| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" style="width: 500px;"
|-
| '''Success Characteristics''' 
| '''Success Metrics''' 
|-
| 1. Students will join the club
| 1. 15-20+ students from a cross-section of Academic disciplines
|-
| 2. Active club marketing
| 2. Entrepreneurship Scholarships
|-
| 3. Industry sponsorships
| 3. Internship Oportunities
|}

The creation of an entrepreneurship club will bring the excitement and student involment need to get this cultural change movement off the ground. Through connecting with industry sponsors, the goal is that funds will be able to be dispursed to students with plans for start-ups.

== #2 Create a dedicated space for innovation and entrepreneurship on campus ==

{| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" style="width: 500px;"
|-
| '''Success Characteristics''' 
| Success Metrics
|-
| 1. University Support
|
1. 50% UMES support for equiptment, staffing, & supplies

50% support from outside funding for the first 24 months

|-
| 2. Installation of a maker space
| 2. 100% of industry support for center's operational costs
|-
| 3.Center has a named sponsor
| 3.Expanded program offerings*
|}

Space is a major issue for students at UMES. Dedicating a space where students can add value to themselves, the university and the community, will be a very valuable asset if brought to campus.

=== *Extended Program offerings from the innovation/entrepreneurship center ===

*Teen Entrepreneurship Summer Academy
*Collegiate Competitions
*Prototype creation labs
*Educational workshops
*STEM skill building workshops

== #3 Creation of a 3 credit Entrepreneurship Course ==

{| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" style="width: 500px;"
|-
| Success Characteristic
| Success Metric
|-
| 1. Commited and energetic faculty
| 1. Active learning enviorment
|-
| 2. Support of UMES faculty
| 2.High student evaluation scores
|-
| 3. Master's in Entrepreneurship
| 3. GPA & Application requirement
|}

Implementing a course that students can take will be a great way to spread the innovation/entrepreneurship mesage to all students willing to recieve it. The course will be open to all majors, but students will need to provide that they are preforming well in the classroom and in the community in order to participate.

== #4 Create a Speaker Series comprised of succesful alumni and faculty ==

{| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" style="width: 500px;"
|-
| Success Characteristic
| Success Metric
|-
| 1. Support from Alumni that are entrepreneurs
| 1. Active speaking platform
|-
| 2. Support of UMES students
| 2. High attendence of series
|-
| 3.Series take place monthly to start
| 3. Limited space and RSVP required
|}

If students could hear the successes of UMES graduates on a continuous basis the impact would be amazing! Actually witnessing the successes from there peers will help solidify that, "you can do it too!" attitude in undergratuate students, thus changing a culture. 

== #5 Inncorporate innovation and entrepreneurship principles within the freshman experience courses ==

Each school at UMES has a frshman experience course as a requirement for incoming freshman. Applying principles of innovation and entrepreneurship her would be the first stepping stone to changing the culture here on campus. This way students are fully understaning there options from the beggining, rather than learning that they can be trailblazers in their own fields close to graduation. 

== #6 Collaboration with surroundiong HBCU's in Maryland  ==

Maryland is home to 5 '''HBCU's''', '''UMES''', '''Coppin State College''','''Suorjourner-Douglass College''', '''Morgan State''', and '''Bowie State University''' (6 if DC's '''Howard University''' is included). Working in a collaborative effort to create an innovation and entrepreneurship ecosytem amongst ourselves would be an excellent strategic move not only for UMES but all the schools listed above. Students would be able to visit and see what other students are working on and doing in the ways of entrepreneurship and innovation and share any new ideas. By succeding in this effort the HBCU community will have more bargaining chips in the way of funding and be heard nationally.

= Overview =

[[File:NSFLogoICorps.jpg|thumb|left|NSFLogoICorps.jpg]]

Launched in October 2011, the [http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/ National Science Foundation Innovation Corps] (NSF I-Corps) program prepares scientists and engineers to extend NSF funded laboratory research projects into the commercial world. Knowledge from NSF-supported basic research can have marketable impact, and thus NSF I-Corps promotes the translation of technologies that will have direct benefits for the economy and society. Importantly, I-Corps is a public-private partnership program, which teaches grantees to recognize valuable product opportunities that can arise from academic research. A targeted curriculum that provides guidance from established entrepreneurs allows viable entrepreneurship training to student participants.

NSF I-Corps aims to strengthen the innovation ecosystem at the local and national levels by incorporating programs such as the I-Corps Teams, Nodes and Sites. An NSF supported researcher or institution can apply to either of these programs to help fund their innovative research ideas to the market place. Significantly, NSF I-Corps prepares the participants to successfully apply for the NSF Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. 

= Purpose =

The primary goal of NSF I-Corps is to promote entrepreneurship from NSF-funded research leading to the commercialization of novel technology. Entrepreneurship is approached through the emphasis of customer and business development. I-Corps will be the vehicle to foster start-ups founded by the participants, making successful I-Corps projects prepared for business formation. Prominently, I-Corps programs bridge the NSF Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. When applicable, additional resources from the private sector are sought by NSF in the form of partnerships and finance.

To achieve its purpose, NSF I-Corps has three distinct components: Teams, Nodes and Sites. [http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/teams.jsp I-Corps Teams] are comprised of the principal investigator(s) (PI), an entrepreneurial lead (EL) (i.e. student or postdoc) and business mentor. [http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/nodes.jsp I-Corps Nodes] are hubs (i.e. academic institution) for education, infrastructure and research that aid academic scientists and engineers in innovation. Moreover, I-Corps Nodes deliver the [http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/curriculum.jsp I-Corps Curriculum] to I-Corps Teams. Finally, [http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/sites.jsp I-Corps Sites] are academic institutions that strengthen local innovation by aiding multiple local teams for their technology transition. Depending on position stance as described, NSF I-Corps funding will be allocated to successful applicants of Teams, Nodes or Sites to initiate the purpose of developing an innovation ecosystem. 

= Distinct Differences From Other Offerings =

The NSF I-Corps program is unique in the following ways:

#Entrepreneurial goal is aimed to commercialize an NSF funded research technology
#NSF I-Corps Team maximum funding is $50,000 for 6 months (research lab on campus can apply for this)
#NSF I-Corps Nodes and Sites funding is up to $1.5 million (academic institutions can apply as a Node or Site)
#Feeds into successfully applying for an SBIR/STTR
#Fosters entrepreneurship with additional resources to participants (i.e. workshops, business mentors, etc.). NSF I-Corps Team participants are provided the [http://nciia.org/LLP Lean LaunchPad] class taught by Steve Blank. 
#Promotes an innovation ecosystem for both students and academic institutions
#I-Corp Teams follow a curriculum made up of seven hypothesis-validation components: 1) Value Proposition of the proposed product. 2) Customer use-case and pain point (identifying customer problems). 3) Demand creation. 4) Channel development. 5) Revenue model. 6)Partnership strategy. 7)Resource requirement (what are most important assets required).
#Monthly webinars that disburse needed developmental skills.

= Impact Achieved For Students and Campus =

NSF I-Corps has helped many students and campuses develop entrepreneurial pursuits with laboratory research technologies. Below are three presentations and one video from successful '''I-Corps Teams'''at Rochester Institute of Technology, Carnegie-Mellon University, University of Pennsylvania and Uinvesity of Nebraska - Lincoln (video).

= Steps Required To Bring Resource to Campus =

The NSF I-Corps program can be brought to your campus in three ways: Teams, Nodes or Sites. Individual research labs that have had NSF funding in the last five years can apply for the NSF I-Corps Team. Academic institutions can apply to be either a Node or Site to foster selected teams on campus.

== I-Corps Team ==

#Need to identify a principal investigator (PI), entrepreneurial lead (student), and business mentor
#Either the PI or entrepreneurial lead needs to have NSF funding or has had NSF funding within the last five years to apply for an NSF I-Corps Team
#Identify the research technology that can be commercialized
#All members on the team must fully participate in the I-Corps Curriculum.
#Contact a program officer on the NSF I-Corps [http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/ website] to assess if the Team is eligible for an NSF I-Corps Team grant. 
#Apply on the NSF I-Corps [[Www.nsf.gov/news/special reports/i-corps/|website]].

''Prinicipal Investigator (PI): ''Serves as the technical lead and the project manager.

''Entrepreneurial Lead (EI): ''Typically'' ''a postdoctoral researcher, graduate student, or other student that possesses relevant technical knowledge and deep commitment to investigate the commercial landscape surrounding the innovation. This person should be prepared to support the transition of technology if the team demonstrates readiness appropriate to leave the academic institution.

''Mentor: ''This person brings the entrepreneurial experience and serves as the principle guide in determining the technology disposition.

== I-Corps Node or Site:  ==

#The academic institution should apply if it has resources setup to be a feasible Node or Site.
#If the academic institution collaborates with multiple departments at the university, then it should apply as a Site. If it is one department, then it should apply as a Node.
#Complete the application on the NSF I-Corps [[Www.nsf.gov/news/special reports/i-corps/|website]]. Make sure to state how the funds will be distributed on campus to selected research teams to promote entrepreneurship and innovation.
