This project proposes to create an I-Corps Site at California State University - Northridge. 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. I-Corps Sites also strengthen innovation locally and regionally and contribute to the National Innovation Network of mentors, researchers, entrepreneurs and investorsThe California State University Northridge (CSUN) I-Corps Site brings together an experienced innovation ecosystem to help foster the growth of potential entrepreneurs on campus and in the San Fernando Valley (SFV) region. The CSUNInnovates! program, a campus-wide program designed to integrate all innovation resources on campus, developed a strategic partnership with the widely known Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) to expand on the entrepreneurial support provided to students, faculty, and alumni. LACI@CSUN was created in 2014 out of a vision to create a world-class entrepreneurial capability and culture at CSUN and establish the SFV region's reputation as a leader in technological innovation and entrepreneurship. If successful, this project has the potential to impact both the institution and the region.

该项目建议在加利福尼亚州立大学 - 诺斯里奇（Northridge）创建一个I -Corps站点。 NSF创新军（I-Corps）站点是在大学建立的NSF资助的实体，其目的是培育和支持多个本地团队，以将其技术概念过渡到市场。网站提供基础架构，建议，资源，网络机会，培训和适度的资金，以使团体能够将其工作转变为市场或成为I-Corps团队申请人。 I-Corps网站还在本地和地区加强了创新，并为国家指导者，研究人员，企业家和投资者的创新网络做出了贡献，加利福尼亚州立大学北方大学（CSUN）I-CORPS网站汇集了一个经验丰富的创新生态系统，以帮助促进校园和San Fernandodle velley（Sfv）的潜在企业家的成长。 csuninnovates！计划是一项校园范围的计划，旨在将所有创新资源整合到校园中，并与众所周知的洛杉矶清洁技术孵化器（LACI）建立了战略合作伙伴关系，以扩展提供给学生，教职员工和校友提供的企业家支持。 LACI@CSUN是在2014年创建的，目的是在CSUN建立世界一流的企业家能力和文化，并确立了SFV地区作为技术创新和企业家精神领域的领导者的声誉。如果成功，该项目有可能影响机构和该地区。
