The broader impact of this I-Corps Hubs project is the development of a model technology innovation hub in the Western United States that cultivates the creation of deep technology ventures and builds a robust innovation ecosystem that is diverse, inclusive, and representative of its population. This goal will be achieved through education, training, outreach, and the engagement of a diverse community of innovators, with robust linkages to regional and national entrepreneurial ecosystems, leading to a strong commercial impact. Trainers and trained teams are key Hub outputs. Proactive outreach is expected to result in the recruitment of diverse groups of teams, trainees, mentors, and instructors. In addition, I-Corps training may help increase the flow and impact of commercializable technologies, the growth and diversity of the innovation ecosystem, and the supply of mentors and experts for the training of future teams. The Hub plans to engage in research and education in lean startup-based programming, the financing of innovation, and the broader ethics of Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Through education, training, networking, community building, and research outcomes related to deep technology ventures, the Hub seeks to deliver economic, technology, and social impact for the benefit of the region and the nation.This I-Corps Hubs project is based on the development of a comprehensive and inclusive education and training program for innovation and entrepreneurship in deep technology ventures in the Western United States. The hub will engage deep technology researchers in lean-startup and customer discovery methodologies to produce teams that advance to the national I-Corps program further enhancing the National Innovation Network. The project will use a framework for team generation and training pipelines based on best practices developed by the Hub members, further modified to leverage the Hub regional characteristics, in particular, its distinct, diverse demographic signature. The hub plans to incorporate inclusivity in its standardized and integrated approach as well as ethical considerations in team training. The hub will also explore new approaches that may lead to a creative, enabling, human-centric, and socially-relevant innovation ecosystem in the region. In parallel, research is planned to analyze programs for possible additional refinements in Hub practices as well as to enrich the broader scholarship and public policy on innovation and entrepreneurship, including a better understanding of innovation financing. Specifically, the project will assess differences in programming and funding success for underrepresented groups and the career paths of scientists and engineers in the general entrepreneurial ecosystem.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I-Corps枢纽项目的更广泛的影响是在美国西部的模型技术创新中心的开发，该模型技术枢纽培养了深度技术创造的创建，并建立了一个强大的创新生态系统，该生态系统具有多样性，包容性和代表人群。这一目标将通过教育，培训，外展和各种创新者社区的参与来实现，并与区域和国家企业家生态系统建立了牢固的联系，从而产生了强烈的商业影响。培训师和训练有素的团队是关键的集线器输出。预计积极主动的外展将导致招募各种团队，受训者，导师和讲师。此外，I-Corps培训可能有助于增加商业化技术的流量和影响，创新生态系统的增长和多样性以及导师和专家的供应未来团队的供应。该枢纽计划从事基于精益初创企业的编程，创新融资以及技术创新和企业家精神的更广泛伦理的研究和教育。通过教育，培训，网络，社区建设和研究成果与深度技术合资企业相关，该枢纽试图为该地区和国家的利益带来经济，技术和社会影响。此I-Corps Hubs项目基于在美国西部美国西部技术领域的深入技术领域的全面和包容性教育和培训计划的开发。该枢纽将吸引深层技术研究人员的精益启动和客户发现方法，以生产促进国家I-Corps计划的团队，进一步增强了国家创新网络。 该项目将根据集线器成员开发的最佳实践来使用框架进行团队生成和培训管道，并进一步修改以利用集线器区域特征，特别是其独特的，多样化的人口统计签名。该枢纽计划将包容性纳入其标准化和综合方法以及团队培训中的道德考虑。 该枢纽还将探索可能导致该地区创造性，有利，以人为中心和社会相关的创新生态系统的新方法。同时，计划进行研究，分析计划，以实现枢纽实践的其他细化，并丰富有关创新和企业家精神的更广泛的奖学金和公共政策，包括更好地了解创新融资。具体而言，该项目将评估代表性不足的群体的编程和资金成功差异，以及一般企业家生态系统中科学家和工程师的职业道路。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评估来通过评估来支持的，这是值得的。
