National Program: Winter 2024 Closing Workshop

NATIONAL I-CORPS TEAMS

A team accepted into the U.S. National Science Foundation’s I-Corps National Teams training program is eligible to be awarded up to $50,000, which supports the team’s program participation including stipends and expenses for virtual and in-person customer discovery. Through the seven-week program, teams engage with prospective customers, partners, and others in the ecosystem—evaluating the commercial potential for turning their technologies into successful products, processes and services. This is the final session of the virtual cohort.
