This project is from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and extends and expands their existing I-Corps Site for another three years. NSF 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. 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. These proposals may request funding for up to five years. Type II - Type II proposals are submitted by institutions that have had prior funding as an I-Corps Site. These proposals may request funding for up to three years. UIUC's first Site award, funded in 2014, was highly successful. Many of their teams went on to the national I-Corps Program and many teams launched startups from their local Site. The PI and Co-PI have been not only been active in the National Innovation Network, they serve as catalysts for national activities and assist other Sites during their startups. The University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign previous site has been exemplary. Their proposal documents their successes and includes additional features that did not exist in their original Site.

该项目来自伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校（UIUC），并将其现有的I-Corps网站再延长三年。NSF Innovation Corps（I-Corps）网站是由NSF资助的实体，在大学中建立，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。有两种类型的I-Corps网站的建议：类型I -类型I的建议是由没有作为I-Corps网站先前的资助机构提交的。这些提案可能要求提供最多五年的资金。第二类-第二类建议书由先前作为第一类机构获得资助的机构提交。这些提案可能要求提供最多三年的资金。UIUC的第一个网站奖，在2014年资助，非常成功。他们的许多团队继续参加了国家I-Corps计划，许多团队从当地网站创办了初创公司。PI和Co-PI不仅在国家创新网络中非常活跃，他们还在国家活动中发挥催化剂的作用，并在其他网站启动期间提供协助。伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳尚潘分校以前的网站一直是典范。他们的提案记录了他们的成功，并包括原始网站中不存在的其他功能。
