The National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps, or "I-Corps," is a program administered by Tech Launch Arizona at the UA to prepare scientists and engineers to expand their focus beyond the laboratory and increase the impact of basic research through building an understanding of their target market.

  • Grants of up to $3,000 for teams to travel and get to know who the customers are for their technology inventions.
  • Six weekly class sessions to help teams focus on customer discovery, learn the "Lean Launch" startup method and polish their plans, knowledge and presentation skills.
  • Experienced mentors and entrepreneurs who can help your team define and refine your strategy.
