项目摘要

The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps Hubs project is to catalyze an inclusive Mid-Atlantic innovation network to spur the development of deep technology startups that will have much-needed economic and societal impacts regionally, nationally, and globally. Research universities are positioned to support commercialization of scientific discoveries, and NSF I-Corps accelerates the growth and impact of university-launched deep technology ventures. The uniquely-experienced Mid-Atlantic Region I-Corps Hub team will build on the initial success of I-Corps Nodes to continue the cultural transformation at several of the country's top research universities to embed innovative practices into the conceptualization and conduct of research; to solve critical societal problems; and to create jobs, opportunities, and economic value. This Hub project directly aligns with the goals of the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act, which is critically important for previously industrialized regions such as the Mid-Atlantic region as it is experiencing significant economic turmoil due to shifts in American manufacturing industries, compounded by disruptions due to the pandemic. Also, the Hub vision and strategy prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion, particularly among underrepresented groups and underserved minorities and minority institutions like Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).The I-Corps program curriculum is built on scientific methods that incorporate hypothesis testing, the build-measure-learn cycle, and continuous iteration. Multiple outcomes result from the program, teams: change research directions, get funding from grants or private investors, or form start-up companies and grow through revenue. Equally important, the impact of the program accrues over many years. The Hub model enables alignment of a systematic and comprehensive analysis of regional impacts, as well as the programmatic, environmental, and individual factors that mediate the efficacy of the program itself. Understanding for whom and under what conditions I-Corps programs are most effective, and what factors contribute to or detract from this effectiveness is critical to inform the continued growth and scaling of I-Corps.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 Hubs项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是催化一个包容性的中大西洋创新网络，以刺激深度技术创业公司的发展，这些创业公司将在区域，国家和全球范围内产生急需的经济和社会影响。研究型大学的定位是支持科学发现的商业化，NSF I-Corps加速了大学发起的深度技术企业的增长和影响。经验丰富的中大西洋地区I-Corps Hub团队将在I-Corps节点的初步成功基础上，继续在该国几所顶级研究型大学进行文化转型，将创新实践嵌入研究的概念化和实施中;解决关键的社会问题;并创造就业机会，机会和经济价值。该枢纽项目直接符合《美国创新与竞争力法案》的目标，该法案对大西洋中部地区等先前工业化的地区至关重要，因为该地区因美国制造业的转变而经历重大经济动荡，再加上疫情造成的破坏。此外，枢纽愿景和战略优先考虑多样性，公平和包容性，特别是在代表性不足的群体和服务不足的少数民族和少数民族机构，如历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）。多个结果导致从程序，团队：改变研究方向，从赠款或私人投资者获得资金，或形成初创公司，并通过收入增长。同样重要的是，该计划的影响会持续多年。枢纽模型能够对区域影响以及调节计划本身功效的计划、环境和个人因素进行系统而全面的分析。了解I-Corps计划对谁和在什么条件下最有效，以及哪些因素有助于或减损这种有效性，对于I-Corps的持续增长和规模至关重要。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进行评估，被认为值得支持。
