I-Corps@NCATS Regional Short Course Beginning October 17, 2022 (5 Weeks)
the University of Rochester (UR) is hosting the I-Corps@NCATS Regional Short Course this fall, which is specifically designed for biomedical scientists, clinician scientists, and engineers to provide them with a new approach to accelerate the translation of their discoveries from the lab to clinical practice. This program, supported by the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), is based on National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps (I-Corps™) program which is the premier federally funded innovation and commercialization training in the U.S.
The program will kick off with orientation the week of October 17th and will run for 5 weeks. All sessions will be held virtually over zoom. The attached flyer provides the program details. Apply online by October 3rd at https://redcap.link/UR_NCATS_I-Corps_2022
The I-Corps@NCATS Regional Short Course is meant for teams of faculty, postdocs, and students with biomedical innovations or ideas and is free to participants. Course graduates receive National Science Foundation (NSF) lineage and can apply to other NSF grant awards, including the National I-Corps Team program, which carries a grant award up to $50,000. Previous NSF funding is not required to apply.
