This project, from the University of California - Riverside (UCR), creates an I-Corps Site at this institution. 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 investors.This I-Corps Site is managed by the UC Riverside Entrepreneurial Proof of Concept and Innovation Center (EPIC). EPIC is a regional program that operates in partnership with the County and major local cities to offer a suite of services and tools to help teams of innovators and entrepreneurs launch knowledge-based companies. In addition, UCR partnered with Riverside City College to allow their upper level students to participate as I-Corps team members. To ensure representative participation of females and students from underrepresented minorities, EPIC designates successful I-Corps graduates as Student Ambassadors to promote and mentor students from those two groups. Teams completing the EPIC I-Corps workshops receive additional support from EPIC's suite of services and from other programs offered by EPIC's network of regional partners.Active collaboration with the region's universities and community colleges, regional incubators and accelerators create synergies within the region and accelerate development of the needed ecosystem that will attract and create knowledge-based companies and jobs. The success of EPIC and the UCR NSF I-Corps site are instrumental in the creation of the ecosystem needed to support innovation and entrepreneurship at UCR and in Riverside County, a region that lacks history and experience in entrepreneurism. Long-term outcomes of this initiative will be greater retention of UCR graduates in the region, increased employment from company creation and the relocation of knowledge-based businesses to Riverside County. These high-paying technology jobs represent a major economic stimulus into a region whose economy has historically been based on agriculture and low-wage jobs.

这个项目，从加州大学-滨江（UCR），创建一个我军团网站在这个机构。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。I-Corps站点还加强本地和区域创新，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。该I-Corps站点由UC滨江创业概念验证和创新中心（EPIC）管理。EPIC是一个区域计划，与该县和当地主要城市合作，提供一套服务和工具，帮助创新者和企业家团队创办知识型公司。此外，UCR与滨江城市学院合作，让他们的高水平的学生作为I军团的团队成员参加。为确保女性和代表性不足的少数群体学生的代表性参与，EPIC指定成功的I军团毕业生为学生大使，以促进和指导这两个群体的学生。完成EPIC I-Corps研讨会的团队将获得EPIC服务套件和EPIC区域合作伙伴网络提供的其他项目的额外支持。与该地区的大学和社区学院、区域孵化器和加速器的积极合作在该地区创造协同效应，并加速所需生态系统的发展，以吸引和创造知识型公司和就业机会。EPIC和UCR NSF I-Corps网站的成功有助于创建支持UCR和滨江县创新和创业所需的生态系统，该地区缺乏历史和创业经验。这一举措的长期成果将是更大的保留UCR毕业生在该地区，增加就业从公司创建和知识型企业搬迁到滨江县。这些高薪技术工作代表着对一个经济历史上以农业和低薪工作为基础的地区的重大经济刺激。
