The National Science Foundation plans to expand its innovation ecosystem by funding new hubs of what it calls the Innovation Corps — a set of training programs and other initiatives to rapidly translate progress made in labs to the commercial world.
NSF is offering up to $8 million in cooperative agreement awards to researchers to form new I-Corps nodes, which are central hubs meant to "support regional needs for innovation education, infrastructure, and research" of I-Corps teams, according to a solicitation from the science and engineering research agency.
