I-Corps Sites - Type I: Texas A&M University I-Corps Site (TAMU-iSite)

这是德克萨斯农工大学(TAMU)的一个项目，旨在创建TAMU-iSite，这是一个i-Corps项目，让工程学学生团队沉浸在从创意开发到创业的商业化培训中。NSF创新团队(i-Corps)网站是由NSF资助的实体，成立于大学，目的是培育和支持多个当地团队，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移到市场或成为i-Corps团队的申请者。该提案描述了一个机构和i-Corps站点的实施计划，这可能会导致一个成功的站点。似乎有很好的社区外展，一个网站可能会对这个机构的文化变化做出贡献。这些人员都很强大，在精益启动台课程方面经验丰富。有招募妇女和少数民族的具体计划。还包括一项可持续发展计划，并详细介绍了评估计划。该提案提出了强有力的实施计划、坚实的管理团队、优秀的外部合作伙伴、重要的创新资源和校园内的设施，以及主要由工程师组成的学生团体，这将为网站提供一系列团队和项目。

This is a project from Texas A & M University (TAMU) to create TAMU-iSite, an I-Corps program that immerses engineering student teams in commercialization training from development of ideas to startups.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. The proposal describes an institution and I-Corps Site implementation plan that are likely to result in a successful Site. There appears to be good outreach to the community and a likelihood that a Site will contribute to a change of culture at this institution. The personnel are strong and experienced with the Lean Launch Pad curriculum. There are specific plans for recruiting women and minorities. A plan for sustainability was also included and the assessment plan was detailed. The proposal presented a strong implementation plan, a solid management team, excellent external partners, significant innovation resources and facilities on campus, and a student body, comprised mostly of engineers, that will contribute a pipeline of teams and projects to the Site.
