Brief Description:

Have a great idea? With all non-essential research suspended and shelter-at-home in place, NSF I-Corps is the perfect opportunity to focus on market research and quickly validate your idea. NSF I-Corps is a four week, immersive boot camp that guides researchers through the market research process to help them product-market fit. This program meets once a week (virtually unless circumstances change) and is designed for researchers doing work in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. 

I-Corps is designed to help you:

• Kick start your innovation with up to $2000 in funding for customer discovery
• Successfully translate university research to technologies in the market
• Obtain skills and training essential for professional development
• Explore alternative career paths (entrepreneurship, business, marketing)
