I-Corps Sites - Type II: Von Liebig Center as Type II Renewal I-corps Site

这个项目来自加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD），它对目前的I-Corps基地进行了扩展和扩展。创新团队（I-Corps）站点是nsf资助的实体，建立在大学里，其目的是培养和支持多个本地团队，将他们的技术概念转化为市场。网站提供基础设施、建议、资源、网络机会、培训和适度的资金，使团体能够将他们的工作转化为市场或成为I-Corps团队的申请人。I-Corps站点还加强地方和区域创新，并为由导师、研究人员、企业家和投资者组成的国家创新网络做出贡献。该网站是加州大学圣地亚哥分校第二类提案的结果。I- corps选址建议分为两类：第一类-第一类建议是由以前没有获得I- corps选址资助的机构提交的；第二类-第二类建议是由先前获得资助作为第一军团场地的机构提交的。加州大学圣地亚哥分校II型项目建议继续和扩大加州大学圣地亚哥分校现有的I-Corps网站，将目标团队从每年30个扩大到50个，与现有的StartupXX项目合作培养女性企业家，与现有的校园中心合作增加领导力和团队动态研讨会，并将I-Corps团队的指导延长6个月。该网站还建立在第一轮I-Corps网站资金成功的坚实记录上。对现有站点的扩展是精心设计的，具有明确定义的目标，并通过所要求的新资金推动了编程的极限。他们的网站有效地利用和整合了跨学科的互补现有项目，在一个强大的校园和区域生态系统中。

This project, from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) creates an extension and expansion of their current I-Corps Site. Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Sites are NSF-funded entities established at universities whose purpose is to nurture and support multiple, local teams to transition their technology concepts into the marketplace. Sites provide infrastructure, advice, resources, networking opportunities, training and modest funding to enable groups to transition their work into the marketplace or into becoming I-Corps Team applicants. I-Corps Sites also strengthen innovation locally and regionally and contribute to the National Innovation Network of mentors, researchers, entrepreneurs and investors.This Site is the outcome of a Type II proposal from UCSD. There are two types of I-Corps Site proposals: Type I - Type I proposals are submitted by institutions that have not had prior funding as an I-Corps Site; Type II - Type II proposals are submitted by institutions that have had prior funding as an I-Corps Site. The UCSD Type II project proposed continuation and expansion of USCD's existing I-Corps Site, expanding target teams from 30 to 50 annually, integrating collaboration with the existing StartupXX program to nurture female entrepreneurs, adding leadership and team dynamics workshops in collaboration with an existing center on campus, and extending mentoring for I-Corps teams by six months. The Site also builds on a solid track record of success from first round I-Corps Site funding. The extensions to the existing Site are well-conceived, with clearly defined goals, and push the envelope of programming with the requested new funding. Their Site effectively leverages and integrates complementary existing programs, across disciplines, in a strong campus and regional ecosystem.
