NSF I-Corps is a nationally recognized initiative funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to enable academic researchers and entrepreneurs to accelerate the path from discovery to impact. Under expert guidance and industry mentorship, researchers learn how to explore the commercial potential of their ideas, translate technology, and build entrepreneurial skills. Whether you have a research idea or a business idea, this program is for you.
NSF I-Corps training is a key part of technology translation and commercialization programs across the nation, and it is offered at over 130 universities, in thirteen NSF-funded I-Corps Hubs.
