Title
Innovation Corps - Regional Node Program (I-Corps Node)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to develop and nurture a national innovation ecosystem that builds
upon fundamental research to guide the output of scientific discoveries closer to the development of technologies,
products and processes that benefit society.
The National Science Foundation plans to build upon the I-Corps program and establish a National Innovation
Network comprised of I-Corps Regional Nodes that will support the needs for innovation research and education.
NSF is seeking to build a network of regional nodes that will work cooperatively to establish, utilize and sustain a
national innovation ecosystem that further enhances the development of technologies, products and processes that
benefit society. The interconnected nodes of this network may be diverse in research areas, resources, tools,
programs, capabilities, and in geographic locations - while the network will have the flexibility to grow or
reconfigure as needs arise. I-Corps Regional Nodes will foster understanding on how to: 1) identify, develop and
1
support promising ideas that can generate value, 2) create and implement tools and resources that enhance our
nation's innovation capacity, 3) gather, analyze, evaluate and utilize the data and insight resulting from the
experiences of those participating in the I-Corps program and 4) share and leverage effective innovation practices
on a national scale - to improve the quality of life for the U.S. citizenry.
