UNCW is affiliated with NSF I-Corps through North Carolina State University, who is a Partner in the program under the mid Atlantic region hub.
The National Science Foundations Innovation Corps or I-Corps is an opportunity for teams to gather information and resources to help better translate ideas and inventions into the marketplace, with mentorship opportunities, training and support, experiential research and market experience, and access to the broad spectrum of NSF resources.
Though, we are not limited strictly to NC State resources, as we are able to partake in any mid Atlantic hub cohorts and events. This allows our research teams many opportunities throughout the year to engage with I-Corps and gain training, mentorship and many other benefits.
I-Corps enables the transformation of invention to impact. The curriculum integrates scientific inquiry and industrial discovery in an inclusive, data-driven culture driven by rigor, relevance, and evidence. Through I-Corps training, researchers can reduce the time to translate a promising idea from the laboratory to the marketplace.
