The National Science Foundation I-Corps program helps researchers explore the potential for their discoveries to become products and services that can benefit society. • Researchers form teams and attend a 4-session program focused on identifying how their innovation meets customer needs. • Teams can include faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students and/or undergraduates who are developing a scientific or technical discovery at any institution in the Northeast. • Researchers build relationships and gain skills in an inclusive, welcoming environment. • Promising ventures may continue to NSF's national I-Corps program and win a $50,000 small business grant. • Program alumni become part of the I-Corps entrepreneurship ecosystem and have access to resources across the Hub-member institutions.
