This project, from the City University of New York (CUNY) creates an I-Corps Site at this institution. 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 particular Site plan is unusual in that it involves spreading the I-Corps program to the Community College (CC) population, as well as to other affiliated institutions. CUNY has a large CC component overall in its student population. Its approach to serving the CC population is creative and potentially adoptable and is likely to impact a large population. Not only will teams be recruited along traditional channels and through community colleges, eight CUNY campuses currently participate in a coordinated undergraduate research program, a source of additional undergraduate teams.The institution (as well as its affiliates) are extremely diverse. For example, 60% of the student population is female. A large portion is economically challenged. Other typically underrepresented cohorts in STEM (Hispanics, racial minorities, etc.) also make up a large portion of the student population. Consequently, the expectation is that entrepreneurial culture changes are likely to be profound for this population. Overall, this Site could serve as a national model for inclusion.

这个项目，从城市大学的纽约（CUNY）创建一个I-Corps网站在这个机构。 创新团队（I-Corps）网站是在大学建立的NSF资助的实体，其目的是培养和支持多个本地团队将其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移到市场或成为I-Corps团队申请人。I-Corps Sites还加强地方和区域的创新，并为导师，研究人员，企业家和投资者的国家创新网络做出贡献。这个特殊的Site计划是不寻常的，因为它涉及将I-Corps计划传播到社区学院（CC）人口，以及其他附属机构。纽约市立大学在其学生群体中有很大的CC组成部分。它为CC人口提供服务的方法是创造性的，有可能被采用，并可能影响到大量人口。不仅将通过沿着传统渠道和社区学院招募团队，纽约市立大学的八个校区目前正在参与一个协调的本科生研究项目，这是额外本科生团队的来源。该机构（及其附属机构）非常多样化。例如，60%的学生是女性。很大一部分是经济上的挑战。STEM中其他代表性不足的群体（西班牙裔，少数民族等）也占了学生人口的很大一部分。因此，预计创业文化的变化可能对这一人口产生深远影响。总的来说，这个网站可以作为一个全国性的包容模式。
