This workshop qualifies participants to apply for NSF’s National I-Corps Teams program. The historical success rate for Purdue Faculty, who complete the National I-corps program, and apply for these competitive NSF research commercialization grants is over 90. This workshop is free and offered online. It is primarily intended for Purdue faculty, graduate students, and post-docs in their research lab with an interest in commercialization. Undergrads working in a Purdue research lab are welcome to join a team. Participants will talk with potential customers and stakeholders to gain valuable market insight; develop their external network and learn from industry experts. The workshop will be on Fridays from 12-2 pm EST, March 11-May 6 (5 webinars, bi-weekly). A flyer for the workshop is attached.
