The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering the Innovation Corps Sites Program grant to develop a robust national innovation ecosystem, facilitating the transition of scientific discoveries into beneficial technologies and products for society. This grant is for academic institutions with existing innovation units to establish NSF I-Corps Sites. These sites will nurture students and faculty engaged in projects with market potential, providing essential infrastructure, advice, resources, networking, training, and modest funding. The purpose of these I-Corps Sites is to enable groups to transition their work into the marketplace or prepare them for I-Corps Team applications, while also fostering active local innovation ecosystems that contribute to a broader national network of mentors and entrepreneurs.

| Description: | The National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to develop and nurture a national innovation ecosystem that builds upon research to guide the output of scientific discoveries closer to the development of technologies, products and processes that benefit society.In order to contribute to a national innovation ecosystem, NSF is establishing the NSF Innovation Corps Sites Program (NSF I-Corps Sites). Sites are funded at academic institutions, having already existing innovation or entrepreneurial units, to enable them to:Nurture students and/or faculty who are engaged in projects having the potential to be transitioned into the marketplace. I-Corps Sites will provide infrastructure, advice, resources, networking opportunities, training and modest funding to enable groups to transition their work into the marketplace or into becoming I-Corps Team applicants (see NSF Innovation Corps Program, NSF 11-560).Develop formal, active, local innovation ecosystems that contribute to a larger, national network of mentors, researchers, entrepreneurs and investors.The purpose of an I-Corps Site is to nurture and support multiple, local teams to transition their ideas, devices, processes or other intellectual activities into the marketplace. |
