NSF I-Corps
The NSF I-Corps Program exists to help jumpstart a national innovation ecosystem by teaching Lean Startup Methodology with a focus on customer discovery and the business model canvas. The program provides funding and guidance for teams to assess their technology’s commercial viability. Successful I-Corps projects are well-positioned to receive future NSF grants designed for slightly more mature technologies, including SBIR and STTR grants.
In participating in the site-level program, each team – consisting of an academic lead, an entrepreneurial lead and a principal investigator – becomes eligible to receive a grant of up to $3,000 to assist with customer discovery.
Our next cohort will be held from February 10 through March 17, 2021. Applications are due by January 29, 2021.
Thank you to our I-Corps co-sponsors:
