The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) National Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Teams program is designed to foster a national innovation ecosystem by accelerating the translation of foundational scientific research into technologies, products, processes, and services that benefit the public. The program aims to enhance collaboration between academia and industry while equipping NSF-funded faculty, students, and researchers with entrepreneurial skills. Through experiential learning focused on customer and industry discovery, participants rapidly evaluate the commercial potential of their inventions, particularly those rooted in "deep technologies" based on foundational science and engineering discoveries. The program provides NSF-funded researchers with entrepreneurial education, mentoring, and funding to help transition basic research into commercially viable ventures, known as deep technology ventures. The outcomes of participating teams include a clear path forward grounded in business model validation, evidence supporting or refuting product-market fit with identified customer segments, and a compelling narrative for demonstration to potential partners. This initiative addresses skill gaps in transforming research into market-ready solutions and supports the formation of emerging products and processes that could attract further external investment.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) continues to develop and nurture a national innovation ecosystem that guides the output of scientific discoveries closer to the development of technologies, products, processes, and services that benefit allAmericans. The goals of the NSF I-Corps™program are to spur translation of foundational research to the marketplace, to encourage collaboration between academia and industry, and to train NSF-funded faculty, students and other researchers in innovation and entrepreneurship skills.

The NSF National I-Corps programutilizes experiential learning of customer and industry discovery, coupled with first-hand investigation of industrial processes, to quickly assess the translational potential of inventions. The NSF National I-Corps programis designed to support the commercializationof "deep technologies,” those revolving around foundationaldiscoveries in science and engineering. The NSF National I-Corps programaddresses the skill and knowledge gaps associated with the transformation of basic research into deep technology ventures (DTVs).

The purpose of the NSF National I-Corps Teams program is to provide NSF-funded researchers additional support in the form of entrepreneurial education, mentoring, and funding to accelerate the translation of knowledge derived from foundational research into emerging products, processes, and services that may attract subsequent third-party funding.The outcomes of NSFNational I-Corps Teams' projects are threefold: 1) a decision on a clear path forward based on an assessment of the business model, 2) substantial first-hand evidence for or against product-market fit, with the identification of customer segments and corresponding value propositions, and 3) a narrative of a technology demonstration for potential partners.
