Launched in October 2011, the 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. A 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.
