As a research university spanning engineering, medical, dental, veterinary, diplomacy, as well as the arts, sciences, and humanities, we have a rich opportunity to connect new research ideas with impact on society through the NSF I-Corps program.

In addition to connecting our researchers and entrepreneurs with the Hub ecosystem, we’ll be developing cohorts of early stage explorers as they begin their journey connecting their research to the world.
