Do you have a research idea that you think has commercial potential down the line? Do you dream of starting a company sometime in the future?
If your answers are yes, then the I-Corps program is right for you. Apply to participate in the 欧美三级片 NSF I-Corps Site Program.
NSF I-Corps is a public-private partnership program that teaches university entrepreneurs with a targeted curriculum to identify valuable product opportunities that can emerge from academic research, and offers entrepreneurship training to participants.
The University of South Florida is an I-Corps Site, which is geared for developing potential I-Corps Team projects and providing an entrepreneurial program for potential faculty and graduate student teams to complete together to assess their business potential. 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.
With the support and mentorship of the Sites, the teams learn first-hand about entrepreneurship and explore the transition of their ideas, devices, processes or other intellectual activities into the marketplace.

The program will teach you, through its unique NSF recognized LeanLaunch PadTM curriculum, how to mature a research idea with commercial potential into a commercially viable prototype design.
