= Steps Required To Bring Resource to Campus =
The NSF I-Corps programs can be brought to campus through 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 as a Node or Site to foster selected teams on campus.
'''<u>I-Corps Team</u>'''''':'''
#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
#Contact a program officer on the NSF I-Corps website ([http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/ www.'''nsf'''.gov/news/special_reports/i-'''corps'''/] ) to assess if the Team is eligible for an NSF I-Corps Team grant.

'''<u>I-Corps Node or Site</u>'''''': '''
#The academic institution should apply if it has resources setup to be a feasible Node or Site
#If the academic institution collaborates within 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 website ([http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/ www.'''nsf'''.gov/news/special_reports/i-'''corps'''/] ). Make sure to state how the funds will be distributed on campus to selected research teams to promote entrepreneurship and innovation.
