This project establishes an I-Corps Site at Colorado State University (CSU). 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 Site leverages CSU's innovation ecosystem to accelerate entrepreneurship across the CSU system and along the Colorado Front Range. The overall CSU Site objectives are to stimulate the translation of research, train faculty and students to understand innovation and entrepreneurship, and contribute to the National Innovation Network. Specific goals of the CSU Site are to dramatically increase the number of students and faculty exposed to the Lean Launchpad training methodology, engage a wide range of regional stakeholders, increase the number of CSU-affiliated start-ups over ten years, and unite CSU and other regional research universities around an entrepreneur recruitment and start-up development process coupled to both industry and the investment community and supportive of women and minorities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目在科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）建立了一个I-Corps站点。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网站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。该网站利用CSU的创新生态系统来加速CSU系统和科罗拉多前线山脉沿着创业。 CSU网站的总体目标是促进研究的翻译，培训教师和学生了解创新和创业精神，并为国家创新网络做出贡献。 CSU网站的具体目标是大幅增加接触精益Launchpad培训方法的学生和教师数量，吸引广泛的区域利益相关者，在十年内增加CSU附属初创企业的数量，并联合CSU和其他区域研究型大学，围绕企业家招聘和启动-该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
