The National Science Foundation (NSF) announced this week that, as part of its Innovation Corps, (I-Corps™) program, it will establish five I-Corps Hubs. Each hub, funded at $3 million a year for five years for a total of $15 million per hub, will be headed by a lead university and involve an alliance of at least eight universities. While most of the participating institutions are large research universities, two of the hubs also include a Historically Black College and University.
