A set of activities and programs that
prepares scientists and engineers to
extend their focus beyond the
laboratory and broadens the impact
of select basic-research projects.
The primary goal of NSF I-Corps is to
foster entrepreneurship that will lead
to the commercialization of technology
that has been supported previously by
NSF-funded research.
Seven I-Corps Nodes
