Participating in the NSF I-Corps Northeast Hub programs can provide key benefits to your institution:

Institutional Prestige: Participation in I-Corps can boost your institution’s national reputation as a leader in innovation, further enhancing academic excellence and regional economic development.

Comprehensive Entrepreneurial Training: I-Corps Programs such as Propelus (4-week program), Novus (half-day), and the Fellowship (matching innovation-minded students from diverse backgrounds to accepted I-Corps Teams) offer tailored training to guide innovators from research to market. These programs provide hands-on experience and support from regional I-Corps activities to National I-Corps initiatives, unlocking greater funding and resources.

I-Corps training also provides opportunities for participants to improve professional skills.
