The broader impacts of this I-Corps Node project are to develop programs and resources that will accelerate the translation of fundamental research to practical applications that will improve the well-being of society and increase the economic competitiveness of the United States. These activities will also result in increased partnerships between academia, industry, and others on a national scale. The Node will actively work to engage the participation of women, underrepresented minorities and persons with disabilities, as well as individuals from diverse economic regions and backgrounds, in all activities and programs. The Node research will investigate utilization of business and industry mentors and various methods of interaction to guide researchers exploring commercialization of their technologies. The training and materials developed by the Node, lessons learned, and the research findings will be shared and disseminated widely across the region and nationally. This I-Corps Node project will deliver I-Corps training programs at research universities throughout New England, build a large regional instructor pool with individuals from its academic partners., support and collaborate with regional I-Corps Sites to enhance their programs, identify and assist potential new I-Corps Sites, and investigate methods of assessing I-Corps team composition and alternative models of mentoring. The Node will explore creative and potentially transformative concepts and widely disseminate findings, lessons learned, new content and training materials across the region and the national innovation network. The Node will build and coordinate a growing and robust pipeline of teams from across the region for the National I-Corps Team program. It will provide additional support and nurturing for those teams to continue to advance after completing the team program. This project will enable MIT to reach and influence researchers across New England, to act upon their ideas based upon basic research and initiate the exploration of getting their inventions and discoveries to the marketplace.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.

这个I-Corps节点项目的更广泛的影响是开发计划和资源，这些计划和资源将加速基本研究向实际应用的翻译，以改善社会的福祉并提高美国的经济竞争力。这些活动还将导致学术界，工业和其他国家之间的伙伴关系增加。 该节点将积极努力参与妇女的参与，代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人，以及来自各种经济地区和背景的个人，参与所有活动和计划。节点研究将调查商业和行业导师的利用以及各种互动方法，以指导研究人员探索其技术的商业化。节点开发的培训和材料，经验教训以及研究结果将在整个地区和全国范围内广泛共享和传播。这个I-Corps节点项目将在新英格兰的研究所提供I-Corps培训计划，与其学术合作伙伴的个人建立大型区域教练池。，支持和与区域I-Corps站点进行支持和合作，以增强他们的计划，确定和协助潜在的新I-Corps网站，并研究评估I-Corps团队组成和替代模型的方法。 该节点将探索创造性和潜在的变革性概念，并在整个地区和国家创新网络上广泛传播发现，经验教训，新内容和培训材料。该节点将构建和协调来自该地区国家I-Corps团队计划的不断增长，强大的团队。它将为这些团队完成团队计划后继续前进提供额外的支持和培育。该项目将使MIT能够与新英格兰的研究人员联系并影响他们的想法，并基于基础研究，并启动将其发明和发现进入市场的探索。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
